Past events

The W3+ Fair in Wetzlar is a leading trade fair for enabling technologies in optics, photonics, electronics, and mechanics. Launched in 2014 by the Wetzlar Network in collaboration with Fleet Events, the event takes place in Wetzlar, Germany - an internationally recognized hub for the optics industry and home to numerous global technology leaders.

The 9th International Conference ALD FOR INDUSTRY will again bridge the gap between fundamental science, industrialization and commercialization of this technology. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a process for depositing a variety of thin film materials from the vapor phase of matter. The growth of this technology is not only based in microelectronics applications, but also in areas of industrial Li-Ion batteries, photovoltaics, optics, light, biomedicine and quantum technology.
 

From crop fields and livestock barns to processing plants and quality control labs, photonics is powering real-time, non-destructive, and precise decision-making. This session bridges farm-level innovation (crop health, animal welfare, smart sensing) with industry-level impact (traceability, sustainability, compliance, and consumer trust), connecting farmers, AgTech developers, food producers, and photonics companies in a live public forum.

The event drives learning and discussions on the future market and technology image sensor trends.

The FCMN will bring together scientists and engineers interested in all aspects of the characterization technology needed for nanoelectronic materials and device research, development, integration, and manufacturing. All approaches are welcome: chemical, physical, electrical, magnetic, optical, in situ, and real-time control and monitoring. The semiconductor industry is evolving rapidly:  the conference will highlight major issues and provide critical reviews of important materials and structure characterization and nearline/inline metrology methods, including hardware, data analysis, and AI and machine learning, as the industry both extends the technology deep into the nanoscale and increases the diversity of devices and systems.

IPC APEX EXPO is the largest event in North America for the electronics industry. OEMs, EMS providers, PCB manufacturers and industry professionals from around the globe come together to access the latest technical content, contribute to standards development, and network with the industry's largest gathering of capital equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and product innovators in design, printed board manufacturing, electronics assembly, and test.
