RE: Intel Halogen Free Symposium Sponsored by IPC

Dear Colleagues:

There is continuing debate on halogen-free products for the electronics industry — from the impact on electronic materials to supply chain readiness to even its very definition.

That’s why IPC is teaming with Intel Corporation to produce a symposium on halogen-free technology, January 15–16, 2008, at the Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Villas, in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Mostafa Aghazadeh, Intel Vice President and Director of Chandler Assembly Technology Development explained “this symposium complements Intel’s effort to eliminate halogenated fire retardants from our product packaging as part of a broader strategy to support an environmentally sustainable future.”

Mr. Aghazadeh is scheduled to present the keynote address on Tuesday, and Mr. FY Lee, Vice President of Nan Ya Materials Division, will provide the keynote on Wednesday. Topics covered at the symposium will include OEM’s environmental positions and roadmaps; supply chain readiness and challenges including material availability, cost and reliability.

Key original equipment manufacturers (OEM), original design manufacturers (ODM), electronics manufacturing services (EMS) companies, PCB manufacturers and material suppliers have agreed to participate in the symposium including Intel Corporation, Dell Inc., HP, Apple, EPA, Nan Ya and Lenovo.

The complete agenda is available below. As you can see, the agenda will not only detail OEM halogen-free roadmaps but will also help you address some of the issues halogen free poses for your company.
