Stephens Convention Center, October 20-24.Between SMTAI and the Assembly Show, there will be thousands of engineers and industry professionals in attendance.The exhibit floor features hundreds of exhibitors showing off the latest technology. But the topic we're discussing today is the Technical conference and other planned events taking place at this year’s SMTAI.This year, there are 11 scheduled professional development courses, about 100 technical presentations across seven technical tracks.Joining me to discuss what’s in store for attendees is Jason Keeping, member of the SMTA Global Board of Directors where he is Vice President of technical programs for SMTA. Jeff Kennedy, past SMTA President and Director of the Manufacturing Excellence Track, and Robert Boguski, member of the SMTA Global Board of Directors where he is VP of membership and Director of the Test and Inspection track.For more information on SMTAI, click on the link below:https://www.smtai.orgFor more information on SMTA, click on the link below:https://smta.org/default.aspx
