Nov 25, 2015 On behalf of the SMTA International Technical Committee, we invite you to submit a 300 word abstract of your research for the 2016 SMTA International 2016 technical conference in Rosemont, Illinois. Papers should describe significant results from experiments, emphasize new techniques, and contain technical, economic or appropriate test data. We are looking for papers on a variety of topics related to electronics manufacturing including advanced packaging/components, assembly, business/supply chain, emerging technologies, harsh environment applications, PCB technology, and process control. Materials must be original, unpublished and non-commercial in nature.
There are many benefits to participating!- Make a contribution to our industry by sharing your work.
- Network with industry colleagues and showcase your company's position in the industry as an author and speaker,
- Receive a discount on your conference registration.
- Be eligible for $1,000 cash awards for the 'Best of Conference', 'Best of Proceedings', and 'Best International' papers.
- $500 award for the best student paper.
Abstracts are due by February 12, 2016.
