IPC � Association Connecting Electronics Industries� is inviting industry members to submit abstracts for the premier conference on electronics manufacturing � the 2007 IPC Printed Circuits Expo, APEX, and Designers Summit. The conference and exhibition will be held Feb. 20-22, 2007, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, Calif.

IPC is seeking papers on design, materials, processes, and equipment for printed circuit boards and electronics assembly, manufacturing and test. Those interested are asked to provide a 300-word abstract that summarizes original, previously unpublished work covering case histories, research and discoveries. Papers should describe significant results from experiments, emphasize new techniques, discuss trends of interest and contain technical and/or appropriate test results.

Individuals interested in organizing a cohesive technical session, a panel discussion or forum (requires recruiting three to four speakers from different companies), should submit a proposed topic and tentative paper titles and speaker names. Individuals interested in teaching full-day or half-day professional development courses should submit a proposal.

Conference paper abstracts and professional development course proposals are due June 17, 2006. Visit www.GoIPCShows.org
