The MMRC (Microelectronics Marketing Research Council) will
offer a free-of-charge Marketing Forum to all IMAPS 2003 attendees
who wish to participate. The Marketing Forum will be held on
Wednesday morning, November 19, 2003, at the Hynes Convention
Center, Boston, MA (Room number TBA).
2003 was forecasted as a year of continuing recovery for
various segments of the microelectronics industry. This session
will help clarify if those forecasts have been fulfilled, which
technologies are “hot”, and which continue to struggle.
With many companies resources stretched thin, how does this
impact their ability to develop and deliver product? What was
the impact of war, SARS, and the overall geopolitical environment
on our industry? With manufacturing continuing its migration
to low cost regions, how does this impact YOUR business? These
questions and more will be addressed.
Speakers will discuss their analysis and insights into various
current and emerging markets of interest to both current and
prospective IMAPS members. Some of these markets are Passive
Devices, WLAN, Automotive, Broadband, Wireless, manufacturing
in China, etc. The Forum will feature four presentations with
a panel discussion at the end that will allow for audience participation
in this not to be missed event!
