The SMTA announced the Doctor's Hours program will be held for the third consecutive year at SMTA International, taking place October 14-18, 2012 in Orlando, FL. Exhibiting companies have provided technical experts to be available in their booths to answer questions and help attendees directly with specific technical problems. The program is unrivaled as a method of connecting attendees with exhibiting companies through sound technical advice and problem-solving.
"SMTA International Doctor's Hours program is a great value add to everyone involved," commented Jeff Schake, Senior Advanced Technology Specialist at DEK USA. "The attendees are invited to receive convenient one-on-one access to technical topic experts at a fixed time and place, which is perfect for those of us who prefer to plan ahead and fill an efficient schedule. It further detaches any sales pressure bias one may be expecting on visiting an exhibitor booth, allowing both parties to more effectively network."
