Design-2-Part and SME to Present Innovation
Conference Santa Clara, CA — The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) Silicon Valley Chapter will present a one-day Innovation Conference for Engineers, “Latest Technologies and Challenges for Product Development and Manufacturing,” on Thursday, May 19, 2011 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California. The seminar will run in conjunction with the Northern Cal - ifornia Design-2-Part Show being held May 18-19, 2011, also at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The sixth annual technical con-
ference presented by SME will explore new resources, materials, and processes to help product devel- opers speed up, develop, and manu- facture products in the competitive new world. Attendees will learn about new applications in composites and carbon nanotube materials, pro- totyping, direct digital manufactur- ing, and much more. In addition, there will be keynotes from Space Systems/Loral and SEMI Photo - voltaics (PV) Group, and panel dis- cussions on emerging technologies in medical devices and entrepreneur- ship.

The Annual Pan Pacific Micro -
electronics Symposium & Exhibition that took place January 18-20, 2011, at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel, on the Big Island of Hawaii, was well received by attendees from North America, Asia, and Europe. Speakers at the Pan Pacific Symposium pro- moted international technical ex - change and joined in a diverse forum for extensive networking among microelectronics professionals from around the world. SMTA reported that attendance
increased 20 percent over last year. As rated by the attendees, the Best of Conference Award was presented to Joseph Fjelstad, Verdant Electron -
ics, for his paper titled, “Past, Present and Future of Solderless Assembly.” In his paper, Joe exam- ined some of the different solderless assembly methods proposed or used over the years by the electronics industry and took a look forward at some future solutions. Technical papers from all ses-
sions are currently featured in the 2011 Pan Pacific Symposium Pro - ceedings available in the SMTA Bookstore at
