CS MANTECH extends discount availability

CS MANTECH (International conference on Compound Semiconductor MANufacturing TECHnology) is one of the compound semiconductor industry's premier annual events. This year it takes place at the Marriott – Waterside, in Tampa, Florida, USA (May 18 - 21).  

For 2009, the event organizers have confirmed that both the Early Full Registration discount ($550) and the hotel room discount will be extended to May 1. After May 1, the conference full registration increases to $650, and hotel rooms (subject to availability) will be at market rates. 

MESSAGE FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR: Scott Davis

Join us in Tampa to discuss the future of compound semiconductor manufacturing.

The conference will open with a presentation on how tighter capital markets will impact our industry. Throughout the week, speakers will discuss technologies that will broaden our industry. We will hear about new applications, some in early stages of development, others beginning commercial deployment.

The special session on photovoltaic technologies is just one example of how compound semiconductors will boldly go where older technologies have gone before.

This is the annual event where our industry comes together. CS MANTECH’s mission is to foster communication between participants from academia, industry, and government. There will be a broad array of educational opportunities including our Monday workshops. Students can interact with potential employers. Industry veterans can keep contact with old friends, meet new ones, and take the pulse of the industry.

The days will be full and so will the nights. The Monday night Exhibits Reception is simply the industry’s best networking opportunity of the year. On Tuesday night at Jackson’s Bistro, we will have hot music and cold beverages with a waterfront view. It’s Florida! On Wednesday night, we will enjoy the Chairman’s Evening at SideBurns, one of Tampa’s best restaurants.

This is an unusual year. But as usual, this conference is THE event to attend if you want to know what is going on. When visibility is limited by a foggy economy, radar becomes a more critical tool. In Tampa you can check the business radar, keep up with technical developments, and have a great time with those who know the industry best. Bring your boss! She needs to see things first hand too.
