Hosted by Tektronix and the PNW IPC Designers Council Chapter

The IPC Designers Council is excited to announce the first ever Designers Learning Symposium in the Pacific Northwest, hosted by Tektronix in their Beaverton, OR facility. The IPC Designers Learning Symposium is a great educational and networking event where you can hear the latest on developing topics in the industry, ask experts challenging design questions, and meet new contacts and potential suppliers — all at an affordable cost. Valuable programs dedicated to PCB design like these are few and far between. We're offering several different ways to save, with totals of up to 50% off the symposium registration, if you take advantage of the multiple discounts.

For all you CIDs, this will be a great opportunity to attend an Advanced PCB Designers Certification Workshop, scheduled for September 20th through the 22nd .

We've put together a full week of events that you won't find anywhere else. Improve your marketability and prove to your employer you are passionate about your career by becoming an Advanced Certified Interconnect Designer (CID+).
