SMTA International to Offer Real-Time, Online Lead-free Symposium
July 19, 2004 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Minneapolis — For the first time at a traditional SMTA event, dial-in options will be available for the Lead-free Soldering Symposium during SMTA International.
The conference will take place September 26 through 30, and exhibits will be held September 28 through 30 at the Donald Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill.
Organized by Paul T. Vianco, Ph.D., of Sandia National Labs, the symposium will take place Thursday, September 30, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., and will consist of four 90-minute paper sessions on lead-free and tin whiskers consortia activities, materials issues in lead-free soldering, lead-free soldering processes, and lead-free soldering reliability.
In consideration of the current demand for information on lead-free technology, it was decided that the symposium would be an appropriate first attempt at mixing the traditional conference format with an online, dial-in format. Within the dial-in format, attendees will receive the technical papers and auxiliary presentation files in advance of the symposium, and will have access to the real-time audio portion by telephone line in order to follow along as the event takes place.
Additionally, it was felt a dial-in format gives would-be attendees, such as students who might not otherwise be able to attend the conference, the option of taking part.
The cost to dial-in is $195/$255 for SMTA members/non-members, and a one-year individual SMTA membership is included in the non-member price. For more information on dial-in access to the Lead-free Soldering Symposium during SMTA International, visit the Online Presentations page of the Education & Events section on smta.org (www.smta.org/education/presentations/presentations.cfm#smtai_lead-free), and contact SMTA Director of Communications & IT Jesse Katzman for any further information at jesse@smta.org or (952) 920-7682.
The SMTA membership is a network of professionals who build skills, share practical experience and develop solutions in electronic assembly technologies and related business operations. For more information, visit www.smta.org.
