The first day will feature topics like reliability manufacturing, miniaturization, cleaning, and reliability design of medical electronics. Speakers presenting on these topics include: Fraunhofer IZM, St. Jude Medical, Schoeller Electronics, Cactus Semiconductor Inc., Kyzen Corporation, ZESTRON America, Dyconex AG, Indium Corporation, and more.
The second day of the event will consist of sessions on emerging technologies, Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and overall market trends, which includes Frost & Sullivan's presentation.
