We really had an outstanding week at PCB West. Preshow registration rose to nearly 2,000 (!) and actual attendance was up more than 30% over last year.
Congratulations to Judy Warner and Michael Ingham, whose talk on RF/microwave design and fabrication drew more than 100 attendees, the most in the conference. Newcomer Jamin Taylor’s presentation on flex construction also drew more than 80 folks. Well done!
I also want to congratulate the winners of the PCD&F NPI Award for best new software tools of 2011. They include:
- Design Verification Tools: DfR Solutions (Sherlock Automated Design Analysis)
