ROSEMONT, IL � Industry-leading associations IPC and SMTA announce that the jointly sponsored High-Performance Electronics Cleaning Symposium that will be held at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare in Rosemont, IL on October 28-29, 2008 is nearly sold out, with less than 10 percent capacity remaining.

�The turnout for this conference is not surprising,� said Dave Torp, IPC's Vice President of Standards and Technology. �Industry trends toward ever-increasing reliability and complexity are consistent with the increasing importance of cleaning to more operations worldwide, particularly here in North America. The program committee has assembled an all-star lineup of speakers, and the early registrations reflect that.�

The conference is designed to be user-driven and attendees will learn from experienced colleagues who are deeply involved with manufacturing residues, fluxes, and cleaning needs.
