I've been feeling for a while that I need to attend a couple of trade shows/conferences which are related to the whole range of electronics from design through manufacturing. Mainly for the exhibits, but perhaps for the right one also the conference as well. I was wondering which shows the list members have found useful, so I can plan to attend those which are the best. Hopefully I can find a couple which are fairly broad so I don't have to go to a dozen different shows. Most of the stuff I'm working with is related to data communications or telemetry (monitoring), and the overall circuits are pretty straightforward (Usually a couple of IC's and a whole bunch of discretes) - meaning things like the VLSI design conference aren't all that useful to me. What would be ideal would be a show geared toward small production run companies. Thanks for the input. -forrest -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
