SMT Presents the 15th Annual VISION Awards
December 31, 1969 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
On February 19, 2007, at the Wilshire Grand Hotel during the APEX/IPC Printed Circuits Expo, SMT toasted the winners of the 15th Annual VISION Awards. It was a time to recognize visionaries of the past and present within the electronics industry. We reviewed major historical events since the invention of the integrated circuit. Dieter Bergman, IPC director of technology transfer, noted changes in the industry during his remarkable career of standards leadership. Following Bergman’s remarks, winners in 18 categories were awarded commemorative glass statues.
The audience comprised award entrants, members of the IPC, industry suppliers, university professors, judges, board members, and magazine staff. Everyone enjoyed the presentation, toasts, dinner, music, and dancing. It was a night of spirited camaraderie.
The VISION Awards ceremony and celebration is slightly different from year-to-year. This year, winners were announced one week before the event, but that did not stop the congratulatory goodwill and celebration of innovation during the 15th year of the awards program.
We salute the visionaries in our industry. Congratulations to all winners; we look forward to pioneers who will enter next year. We will see you there.
