June 21st, 2010 - Anaheim, CA
From 8:15 AM to 6:30 PM

 

 

 

 

Yole Développement together with AM Fitzgerald & Associates and Chipworks, will be hosting an all new event for the MEMS technical community:

Our first MEMS CTO Meeting will be held on June 21 in Anaheim, California.

With the MEMS CTO event, we are creating a place for meaningful exchange of ideas and vision with your peers related to key technology issues and developments for the future of the MEMS business.  The theme of this meeting will be: 

"FROM IDEA TO VOLUME PRODUCTION" 

As a recognized MEMS technology leader, we are be pleased to invite you to participate in this meeting. Attendance is by invitation only and is targeting senior technical personnel at the top MEMS companies worldwide.

We have selected the following topics and engaged related speakers:

    •   What is the role of a MEMS CTO?

    •   What is the status of MEMS design and processes today?

    •   From R&D to manufacturing, what are the new challenges we face? 
    •   Are  there really new MEMS processes?

The MEMS CTO Meeting will be at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA. This event will begin with a welcome breakfast at 8:30 AM and end with an Executive Cocktail. As with our other senior executive meetings, attendance is by personal invitation only and in exchange for your active participation during the day there is no fee to attend. Approximately 50 CTOs, R&D Managers,  Engineering Managers, Fab Managers and technologists from MEMS companies around the world will join us for this event. The meeting is dedicated to open discussions and interaction to enhance contacts among these MEMS executives.  

Objectives of the MEMS CTO MEETING

   1.   Create a place for senior executives from Europe, Asia and North America to meet
         each other and have open discussion.

   2.   Highlight key challenges facing the MEMS technologies and understand the driving
         forces. 

   3.   Analyze the technical trends of the MEMS fields: manufacturing processes,
         innovative MEMS technologies, key value chain relationships
