TORONTO – Canada will again host a conference on lead-free soldering, but this year’s sessions will have an international focus. The conference, held May 16-18 at Wyndham Bristol Hotel in Toronto, is presented by the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE), in conjunction with the Centre of Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging (CMAP).
 

The conference aims to enable Canadian electronics manufacturers in their continuing transition to lead-free products. However, paper presentations will come from Brazil, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, the U.S., and the Canadian provinces of Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia.
 

The conference is co-sponsored by the SMTA, iNEMI and the Integrated Electronic Engineering Center at State University of New York (SUNY) Binghamton.
