Some important 2010 events in the electronic thermal management community. Visit us online at www.electronics-cooling.com for the latest listings.
Advanced Technology Workshop and Tabletop Exhibition on Thermal Management
• WHEN: Sept. 28-30
• WHERE: Dinah’s Garden Hotel, Palo Alto, Calif.
• WHAT: THERMINIC Workshops are a series of events to discuss the essential thermal questions of microelectronic microstructures and electronic parts in general. This year the workshop will address in addition to the “traditional” thermal management problems, also stress and thermal-stress-related-reliability issues, both in micro- and opto-electronics fields.
