Technology Focus - With the rapid globalization of world economies and markets, many electronics companies are now outsourcing some of their manufacturing steps to subcontractors around the world. Both technical and business people realize they must look at their product and manufacturing processes with a broader perspective. IMAPS facilitates this discussion by organizing its technical programs to match a 4 tiered global supply chain model encompassing industry, systems and applications, design, and materials and process. Communications among all 4 tiers of the microelectronics and packaging supply chain are critical to the success of innovation and new product developments.

Focus Sessions - IMAPS 2012 will have sessions emphasizing the work being done in Southern California as well as international countries/regions (IMAPS 2011 Featured Sessions from Europe, Japan and China). Industry-specific sessions may focus on: Consumer, Portable and Wireless; Biomedical; Telecom; Defense and Security; Computing and Gaming; Automotive and Industrial; and Solar and Alternative Energy.

Expanded Advertising and Public Relations Reach - IMAPS will expand the reach and frequency of its advertising over previous campaigns and will include advertisements or announcements in both print and electronic media. IMAPS will also implement a press relations campaign to motivate attendance from readers of all electronics industry periodicals, with more focused attention on editors from Packaging, Wireless, RF, Military Electronics and Medical Device trade press.

A 50% deposit is due with the booth application. The balance will be due on July 20, 2012. Exhibitors will be mailed an invoice following space assignment indicating the balance due. Failure to pay the balance by July 20, 2012, may result in reassignment of your booth location or cancellation of the contract.

Any other booth requirements can be ordered from the official show contractor at an additional rental fee. All exhibitors will receive an Exhibitor’s Manual electronically, usually 2-3 months before the show, that will outline all services available for IMAPS 2012.

Cancellation/Refunds, minus a $100 processing fee, will be made for booth cancellations only if the Exhibit Hall sells out and if the cancellation is made at least 30 days in advance of the Symposium start date. If the Exhibit Hall does not sell out, the full amount of the booth fee will be due to IMAPS. However any monies paid, in excess of the 50% deposit, will be applied against the cost of space at IMAPS 2013.
