IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries announces that it will
co-host the17th Shanghai International SMT High-Level Conference Lead-Free Manufacture Conference and Workshops on April 24-26, 2007 in Shanghai, China.

The conference and workshops are sponsored by the China Ministry of Information Industry, and hosted by the IPC, CCPIT Electronics & Information Industry Sub-Council, BJSMT and CBC. The workshops will take place April 24-25, and the conference will take place on April 26, 2007. The events will be held in conference room #10 on the 2nd floor of Shanghai EverBright International Hotel.

The change to lead-free is affecting the global marketplace, motivating all suppliers and manufacturers to eliminate lead according to agreed transition plans. Producers of equipment not directly affected by the legislation, e.g. aerospace, also are assessing the effects of changes in the supply chain and customer demand. As global legislation continues to be implemented, companies are focusing on manufacturing, while still being concerned about long-term reliability. The conference and workshops are designed to discuss these changes and to help companies transition as smoothly as possible.

Papers from environmental managers and technical experts will be presented on numerous topics, including European/Chinese/other legislation on hazardous materials and recycling; legislative compliance, policy enforcement and product marking; summary of voluntary implementation in other regions (America, China, Europe, etc.); company and research consortia projects and results; environmental considerations and studies (material availability, toxicity issues, etc.); and more.

To register for the Shanghai Lead-Free Conference/Workshops scheduled to take place during NEPCON China/EMT China, please contact Audrey Sytsma at AudreySytsma@ipc.org or the IPC at 1-847-597-2811.
