An Elevated Event ~ A New Location ~ Unprecedented Exposure
Your voice, your presentations have never been more important than now. With just two technical consecutive sessions the spotlight is a little brighter, the focus more on what you'll be bringing this year.
The leading regional confab on microelectronics just got a major upgrade. For our 52nd Annual Symposium, iMAPS New England is thrilled to be co-located with the IMAPS HQ Wire Bonding Workshop at our new venue in Woburn, MA.
For speakers, this is a rare opportunity to share your technical work, practical insights, and emerging approaches with a highly amplified audience. You will present to our dedicated, world-class New England microelectronics community while networking with the national and international industry leaders brought to town by the HQ event.
If you are advancing the design, assembly, and reliability of microelectronic and microsystem packaging, we want your voice on our stage. (Student submissions are highly encouraged!)
The Call for Abstracts
Focus Areas
We are seeking technical abstracts across the microelectronics assembly and packaging spectrum, including but not limited to:
