The 11th Annual Device Packaging Conference (DPC 2015) will be held in Fountain Hills, Arizona, on March 16-19, 2015. This international event organized by the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS) is a major forum for the exchange of knowledge and provides numerous technical, social and networking opportunities for meeting leading experts in these fields. The conference will attract a diverse group of people within industry and academia. It provides a chance for educational interactions across many different functional groups and experience levels. People who will benefit from this conference include: scientists, process engineers, product engineers, manufacturing engineers, professors, students, business managers, and sales & marketing professionals.
This year IMAPS has decided to mix it up a bit, eliminating panel discussions, adding in evening technical sessions, and holding the Global Business Council on Wednesday.
Featuring Topical Workshop Tracks on:
- Advanced 3D Packaging
- Flip Chip and Wafer Level Packaging
- Microsystems & Devices (includes MEMS & Sensors)
- Photonics Packaging & Other Emerging Technologies
