I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
January 15, 2021 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
It’s a new year, and we’re already halfway through January. So far, so good.
Hard to believe that a year ago, I was getting ready to attend DesignCon and IPC APEX EXPO and wondering if this Novel Coronavirus was going to cut into attendance from the Pacific Rim. Now, we’re accustomed to virtual trade shows. They’re not ideal, but they’re the best we can do while meeting in person is not possible. We’ve learned to adapt.
This week, we published a variety of articles and news items on trade shows, M&A activity, and data transfer formats, among other things. These were some of the most-read articles of the last week. I hope you enjoy this week’s round-up as we head into the weekend.
