SMYRNA, GA – UP Media Group Inc. (UPMG) is seeking abstracts for PCB West 2008, which will be held September 14 through 19, 2008, in Santa Clara, CA.

The five-day conference, sponsored by Printed Circuit Design & Fab and Circuits Assembly magazines, focuses on PCB engineering, design and fabrication, high density interconnect (HDI) and other advanced circuits. The event is comprised of a 3-Day Technical Conference and a Professional Development Certificate program, and a two-day exhibition of industry vendors held on September 16 and 17.

Suggested topics for papers and presentations for the 3-Day Technical Conference include:

30-minute paper sessions
One-hour lectures, presentations or panel sessions
Two-hour workshops or panel sessions
Half-day (3.5 hour) seminars
Professional Development Certificate program papers and presentations for in-depth courses: one-day tutorials, two-day tutorials (7 and 14 hours of instruction respectively)

For consideration, please submit all abstracts online at: http://www.pcbwest.com/speakers/abstract.shtml. Or e-mail course titles, suggested course length, the target audience, short course abstract(s) and speaker bio(s) to Ronda Faries (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) by April 17, 2008.

Papers and presentations must be noncommercial in nature and should focus on technology, techniques or methodology rather than on a company’s specific products.

Work selected for inclusion in the PCB West 2008 conference proceedings will be due in May 2008.
