Microchip Masters? oh wait....thats over isnt it? Time passes way to fast... you missed Semicon, that was last summer in SF I think I'd probably ask all your reps that you work with, they might have a good idea of what shows are coming up. Many are catered to a specific industry so you need to target that as well. IAPPA (or is it IAAPA?) would be a way fun one to attend. Forrest W Christian wrote: Hopefully [EE] is the right tag... I'm trying to pick a few shows/workshops/seminars/etc. to attend over the next 12 months or so which would be useful to me as a small production run manufacturer. I.E. shows that I can make contacts with electronic suppliers and vendors for various pieces of the whole design & manufacturing puzzle. So far I've come up with Electronics West 2008 in Anaheim. It looks particulary interesting especially since it's co-located with several other shows including packaging and plastics shows. Are there any other shows in the US that I should be looking at seriously? Mainly I'm interested in attending for the Exhibits - however, I'm also interested in possibly attending the right "full program" or "training" events as well.. -forrest -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist --------------------------------- Be a better Globetrotter.
