PCB West Finalizes Conference and Exhibition Schedule
UP Media Group Inc. (UPMG, Atlanta, GA) has announced the final schedule of events for the thirteenth annual PCB Design Conference West (PCB West). The West Coast conference and exhibition for PCB engineering, design and manufacture professionals will be held March 16-18 in San Jose, CA.
"This year, we've kicked things up a few notches," said UPMG president Pete Waddell. "The complete Professional Development and Technical Conference program boasts a terrific selection of more than 35 courses--over half of which are new to PCB West. Plus, attendees of the full-day tutorials and two-day Design Excellence Curriculum (DEC) courses that make up our new Professional Development Certificate Program will each receive certificates of completion following the show. I'm also pleased to announce that we've added a new low-cost conference package, the Lecture and Workshop Package, which is one of the best bargains we've ever offered at a PCB Design Conference."
The PCB West three-day Technical Conference takes place March 16-17 and includes 27 short courses. The Technical Conference is bracketed by 10 Professional Development Certificate courses: six full-day tutorials and four two-day DEC courses.
Dr. Walden C. Rhines, CEO of Mentor Graphics Corp., will give his keynote address, "Breaking the PCB Design Process," to kick-off the conference on March 16. The exhibition will begin immediately following the keynote. Three special events will also take place back-to-back on March 16: the Opening Night Reception, book signings and the Pot O'Gold Party and Giveaway at the headquarters hotel, the Fairmont San Jose.
Registration for the two-day exhibition and most special events is free.
UPMG publishes Printed Circuit Design & Manufacture and Circuits Assembly, and produces PCB Design Conference West and PCB Design Conference East in the Boston, MA, area. UPMG also hosts the PCB Design Conference Road Series of courses in cities throughout the U.S.
