MEMS & Associated Microsystems Workshop Focus:
The objective of the MEMS & Associated Microsystems Workshop is to have a unique forum that brings together scientists, engineers, manufacturing, academia, and business people from around the world who have been working in the area of MEMS and associated microsystems. This workshop has been specifically organized to allow for the presentation and debate of some of the latest and hottest technologies related to fabrication, packaging and applications of MEMS devices. Abstracts are being requested on the following topics:

• MEMS Inertial Sensors
• MEMS RF Devices
• MEMS Sensors (non-inertial)
• Microfluidic and Bio-MEMS
• MEMS Reliability and Failure Analysis
• Optical MEMS (MOEMS)
• Multi-Sensor Integration
• MEMS Packaging and Testing
• Innovative Materials and Processing
• MEMS Operation in Harsh Environments
• Polymer and Laminated MEMS Devices
• System Integration of MEMS Devices
• Energy Scavenging
• Thermal Management Devices
• Near Hermetic MEMS Packaging
• Vacuum Packaging of MEMS Devices

Those wishing to present in the MEMS & Associated Microsystems sector of the Device Packaging Conference must submit a 200-300 word abstract electronically no later than November 30, 2007, using the on-line submittal form at: www.imaps.org/abstracts.htm. Please contact Jackki Morris-Joyner by email at jmorris@imaps.org or by phone at 305-382-8433 if you have questions.

Device Packaging Exhibit and Technology Show:
IMAPS will hold a concurrent exhibition for vendors and suppliers who support the many aspects of MEMS. This venue features an ideal atmosphere to showcase your products and services to key decision-making professionals in the industry. Full 8' by 10' exhibit spaces will be available. To reserve booth space please fill out the on-line submittal form before February 12, 2008 or contact Ann Bell by email at abell@imaps.org or by phone at 202-548-8717.

Device Packaging Professional Development Courses (PDCs):
For those wishing to broaden their knowledge of device packaging, a selection of half-day courses will be offered on Monday, March 17th, preceding the technical conference. If you would like to participate as an instructor, please submit a description of your short course to Jackki Morris-Joyner by email at jmorris@imaps.org no later than November 30, 2007.
