DESIGN007 IPC is now accepting abstracts for IPC E-Textiles 2023, the international conference for the e-textiles industry, to be held live and in-person on Monday, January 23, 2023, in San Diego, California, in conjunc- tion with IPC APEX EXPO 2023, the industry's premier conference and exhibition for the electronics industry. IPC E-Textiles 2023 provides an excellent oppor- tunity for the e-textiles industry to learn, network, and collaborate on this vastly expanding technology space. By aligning IPC E-Textiles 2023 with IPC APEX EXPO, speakers and attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in IPC E-Textiles Committee standards meetings and take advantage of all events offered during IPC APEX EXPO. IPC invites innovators and technologists from the e-textiles supply chain and academia to submit an abstract for a technical presentation during the con- ference. The IPC E-Textiles 2023 Program Committee seeks abstracts in the following topic areas: • E-Textiles Success Stories • Reliability and Standards • Economic and Business Aspects • Futuristic Thinking A 250-word techni- cal conference abstract should describe signifi- cant results from exper- iments and case stud- i e s , e m p h a s i z e n e w t e c h n i q u e s , d i s c u s s trends of interest, and contain appropriate technical test results. Technical conference paper abstracts are due August 1, 2022. To submit an abstract or course pro- posal, visit IPC's website. IPC also announces the IPC E-Textiles 2023 Pro- gram Committee, which will shape the technical deliverables and format for this exciting and educa- tional event: • Vladan Koncar, Ph.D., University of Lille, Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Industries Textiles (ENSAIT) • Pratyush Rai, Ph.D., Nanowear, Inc. • Sahar Rostami, Myant • Yolita Wildman Nugent, Betazip, LLC (Source: IPC) IPC Issues Call for Participation in IPC E-Textiles 2023
