OEM SummitThursday, April 2, 8:00 am–10:00 amThe OEM Summit will present a first-hand look into the technology roadmaps of key OEMs. Join our distinguished panel of senior OEM executives as they unveil their companies’ roadmaps in this ever-changing technology landscape.

Executive Management MeetingsMonday, March 30 7:30 am–9:00 pmExclusively for leaders of PCB and EMS companies, the two

Executive Management Meetings are the only forums that address the unique issues of industry decision makers. PCB and EMS executives from around the world will gather in their respective meetings to learn from some of the industries’ top experts,

participate in in-depth, roundtable discussions and to hold valuable peer interchange. These closed door meetings are rare opportunities to learn from the experiences of high level peers.

“Mutual sharing benefits the industry and the whole supply chain. The more we share with each other, the more we can learn to help the industry thrive. The first step in that sharing is building trust, which has to be done in person. And there’s no better place to build those relationships than at the IPC Executive Management Meeting.”

Greg Klein, Chairman, Epec LLC
