IPC Designers Day

October 22, 2008
Irvine, California

Board design is too important to leave to amateurs! Some experts have estimated that board designers dictate 75% of the cost of a final printed board, solely based on design choices made before the design leaves the CAD station. Let the IPC Designers Council put the right tools at your disposal to make the right choices for manufacturability and maximum efficiency.

The IPC Designers Council, a network of PCB designers, exists to help you enhance your skills and build your industry network. Take advantage of this unique day in Southern California to meet other board designers and hear from industry experts in a local, low-cost format.

Interested in getting certified? Certification shows your employer and customers that you’re serious about board design and your professional skills. Learn more about it at http://dc.ipc.org/.

“As technology advances, designers are constantly challenged by packaging density issues. It’s vital that designers expand their knowledge about advanced design techniques and there’s no better opportunity to hear from industry leaders than by participating in the IPC Designers Council and attending our Symposium.”

Scott McCurdy
President – Orange County chapter
