The Surface Mount Technology Association (www.smta.org) is again co-locating its annual conference, SMTA International, with the Assembly Tech Expo (ATExpo) show this fall at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, from Sept. 26-30.

 

Dr. Paul T. Vianco of Sandia National Labs has organized a Lead-Free Soldering Symposium that will take place on Thursday, Sept. 30, and will consist of four 90-minute paper sessions on lead-free and tin whiskers consortia activities, materials issues in lead-free soldering, lead-free soldering processes and lead-free soldering reliability. Dial-in options will be available for the symposium during the conference.

 

In consideration of the current demand for information on lead-free  technology, it was decided that the symposium would be an appropriate first  attempt at mixing the traditional conference format with an online,  dial-in format.  Dial-in attendees will receive the technical papers and auxiliary presentation files in advance of the symposium.  They will have access to the real-time audio portion by  telephone line to follow along as the event takes place.

 

The dial-in format gives would-be attendees, such as students who might not otherwise be able to attend the conference, an  option for taking part.

 

The cost to dial-in is $195/$255 for SMTA members/non-members. A one-year individual SMTA membership is included in the non-member price.
