IMAPS is consulting government agencies, event partners, and our stakeholders regarding the Covid-19 virus ahead of IMAPS 2020. We will keep attendees informed of any effects to the event. IMAPS remains committed to delivering the Symposium live this Fall in San Diego, and anticipates a robust, healthy event for all attendees, speakers, and exhibitors. We are exploring all options for alternative conference plans including various presentation formats, online tools, and other resources in the event that our traditional, in-person components of the Symposium are deemed unsafe or not possible to conduct in our customary manners and formats.
The 53rd International Symposium on Microelectronics is being organized by the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS). The IMAPS 2020 Technical Committee seeks original papers that present progress on technologies throughout the entire microelectronics/packaging supply chain. The Symposium will feature 5 technical tracks, plus our Interactive Poster Session, that span the three days of sessions on:

Speaker/Author Information:
Poster Session/Information
The poster session is planned to be an INTERACTIVE presentation. This means you do not start and complete a scheduled talk without interruption like in a regular/oral session. Speakers should have talking points and be at their poster throughout the entire session. You can "present" your scheduled materials, but more often the attendees will review your slides and ask questions. Or you can watch them and talk to them depending on which slide they are on.
Authors may either print out each of their powerpoint slides on regular paper and tack them up in order, or prepare a large poster (or 2 even). Recommended poster size is typically 3x4 feet, with the max space on the board being 4 ft high x 8 ft wide. IMAPS staff will provide tacks to secure your print outs. The session is first-come-first-serve so there are not assigned poster boards/locations.
The Posters & Pizzas Interactive Session will be held Thursday, October 8 in the Convention Center Foyer from 11:45 AM - 12:45 PM. POSTER SETUP FROM 10:30 AM UNTIL 11:40AM. **DAY & TIMES SUBJECT TO CHANGE**

- The paper should present an unbiased description of a certain method or product, discussing both pros and cons. Both subtle and blatant advertisement of any products or services is in direct conflict with the spirit of the Symposium. Examples of the former include repeated references to products or trade names and excessive use of corporate logos and trademarks in graphic illustrations. Photographs of commercial equipment are not permitted unless they add educational value. IMAPS Program Committees desire that all authors and presenters understand unambiguously that overly commercial papers are inappropriate and will not be tolerated; authors are asked to abide by these constraints when preparing their abstracts, papers, and presentations.
