Featured Event
The world of inertial devices is in a rapid state of change. Value is
shifting. Players are changing. The entire industry of motion is /in
motion./ While we all know the current players, our growth depends on
meeting and engaging the emerging innovators. The world leader in MEMS
technology information, Yole Developpement, is harnessing the power and
efficiency of an exciting new networking and collaboration event.
Not another tradeshow or conference, the MEMS in Motion Collaboration
Summit promises the freedom to meet, learn, talk, and ultimately
collaborate in a time-efficient and casual environment. The Yole team
will bring together industry leaders for this first-of-a-kind, two-day
event in Palm Springs. Qualified attendees will enjoy exclusive Yole
plenary sessions; small, facilitated roundtable discussions; and hours
of small group and one-on-one discussion activities.
