IPC COMMUNITY 83 WINTER 2025 Technical seminars focused on addressing chal- lenges in the electronics manufacturing industry, demonstrating how IPC standards enhance man- ufacturing performance and quality. Participants engaged in active discussions across seven topics: • Digitalization of Electronics Manufacturing— Toward Smart Factory Enabling Industry 4.0 • Mastering Challenges in Electronics for Electric Vehicles • Evaluation and Prediction of MLCC Ionic Migration in Electronics • Material Selection and Technical Solution of Conformal Coating • Improving Performance and Reliability at the PCB Design Phase • Requirements and Acceptance Specifications for Organic Packaging Substrates • Relationship of Sn Plating and IMC at PCBA IPC Korea staff recognized individual volunteers during the awards luncheon. Rounding out the day, the IPC-A-610 regional task group met and dis- cussed efforts to involve more Korean engineers in IPC's global standardization activities. Jae-sang Min had high praise for the achieve- ments made by the IPC Korea team in the past three years. "Although there are not many Korean people participating in IPC standardization com- pared with Korea's leading position in the elec- tronics industry and the importance of IPC in the electronics industry," he said, "I believe that in the near future, the IPC Korea team, through platforms such as IPC K-FEST, will surely lead more Korean electronics manufacturing companies and experts to the world standardization stage." The Korean Government project, "De-facto Stan- dard Forum," sponsored this event. "IPC K-FEST is exactly the kind of event that we are expecting to see," said Jong-won Kwon, general project director. "The Korean De-facto Standard Forum would like to support IPC as much as we can." MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions and K&P Co., Ltd. sponsored supplies for this event. "My special thanks go to the IPC Korea team and IPC Korea Advisory Committee for their dedication in making this event possible," said Sydney Xiao. "We are confident that it will continue to attract greater interest from Korea's industry, potentially evolving into a global event, and thus promoting more industry experts to participate in the devel- opment of IPC standards."
