The 16th Executive Forum on Microelectronics
"Entrepreneurial Opportunities Enabled Through Microsystems"
Brookstreet Hotel, 525 Legget Drive, Kanata, Ontario in Canada's National Capital Region
October 5 (evening)
In collaboration with CMC Microsystems - Outstanding Service Awards and Dinner
October 6 (day)
Conference Program
While the giants of the Microelectronics industry do battle with fundamental physics to continue to keep up with Moore's Law, a relatively small group of pioneers, many of them Canadian, are pursuing a "More than Moore" strategy for creating new technologies, new advanced components, and new business opportunities, in Microsystems!
Some of us already owe our lives to MEMS-based accelerometers that trigger vehicle airbags just when we need them, but what new opportunities are there if we could combine electronic, photonic, mechanical and fluidic technologies with embedded intelligence?
Whether you are a single entrepreneur, a visionary within a small start-up or responsible for diversifying a large, successful company, join us to learn more about just how big the Microsystems industry can become, how attractive it can be for entrepreneurs and just how important it could become to Canada's high-tech future!
Once again, there will be a combined CMC/ITAC SMCouncil Award Dinner on Tuesday, October 5th. Our full day's program will follow on Wednesday, October 6th and pioneers in the field on Microsystems will share their insights with you, about Entrepreneurial Opportunities.
So, mark your calendars today and join us for stimulating discussion and excellent networking at this year's Executive Forum on Microelectronics!
