PCB West Draws 1400, Good Reviews

By Mike Buetow
Friday, 25 March 2005
ATLANTA — UP Media Group Inc. today announced that the 14th annual PCB Design Conference West 2005 provided over 55 industry-leading exhibitors with a targeted audience of approximately 1,400 attendees.

The audience included corporate executives, purchasing/procurement executives, design engineers and managers, process engineers, PCB layout designers and others, who came to the March 7-11 event, held at the Santa Clara (CA) Convention Center.

PCB Design Conference West is North America's largest annual design-oriented conference and exhibition for printed circuit board engineering, design and manufacture. This year's Silicon Valley-based venue provided attendees with an excellent setting for instruction, networking and face-to-face marketing opportunities.

The show received positive feedback from attendees and exhibitors.

"We are still on a high from PCB West 2005. It was a great two-day exhibition for us," said Randy Eager, CEO and cofounder of DesignAdvance Systems Inc. "We demonstrated our new user-assisted component placement product, and we were thrilled to generate a great deal of attendee interest and to capture many highly qualified leads."

"It was exciting to bring PCB West back to the Santa Clara Convention Center again after two years in San Jose," said UP Media Group President Pete Waddell. "Our attendees find the Santa Clara facility to be a convenient, central Silicon Valley location, and they like the free parking. This year's conference program was first-rate—over 35 technical courses focusing on today's toughest design challenges. And our two-day exhibition was equally successful, resulting in an excellent re-sign rate for PCB West 2006."

In addition to the exhibition and conference, several special events were well attended and received praise from those who participated. These include the PCB Technology Forum and Welcome Luncheon, the keynote address by Bartlett Manufacturing president Doug Bartlett on "The Future of the North American PCB Industry," the Opening Night Reception and Grand Giveaway of exhibitor-sponsored prizes valued at $200 or more, the French Quarter Masquerade Party, the PCB Top Gun competition and the PCB Design Peer Awards competition.

Several exhibitors announced or demonstrated new products and services at PCB West 2005. Those products and services are detailed in a press release posted in the "What's New" section on the www.pcbwest.com home page.

Dates for the 15th annual PCB West 2006 have been announced: March 27-31 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. For more information, visit www.pcbwest.com.

UPMG's next trade show is the 10th annual PCB Design Conference East 2005, which will be held October 10-14 at the Expo Center of New Hampshire in Manchester, NH. For more information, visit www.pcbeast.com.

Nielsen Technical Services to Provide Personal and Private Responses to User's Questions

June 25th, 2005 - Minneapolis, Minnesota - Chris Nielsen, Owner of Nielsen Technical Services today announced that the company would continue to provide support and answer questions asked by those "in the dark" at no cost, as long as the time required does not get excessive. To avoid embarissment and provide personal service, questions asked generally will not be published and the identity of the person asking will not be made public.

"Sure, we could publish the questions and answers on our site since it would be keyword-rich and make it easier to create content, but why use our potential clients in such a manner? They deserve our complete attention and we should not be distracted by thinking about how to use their questions and our answers as marketing material.", said Nielsen, when asked if his company had plans to treat users like cattle.

"No, for over 5 years we have been answering any and all questions that we receive to the best of our ability and never chanrged unless the time required to answer was more than one should resonably expect, or research was needed. People need to know we will not nickel and dime then to death, and the valuable information we have gained over the years should not be kept "secret". We have found that we gain more by giving our information away then we would ever gain by trying to keep it to ourselves. This is the reason behind our publishing our search engine submission list at www.best-free-search-engine-list.com."

"I have, on several occasions, taken to tutoring a young person on what is required for search engine optimization or SEO via email. I would provide detailed instruction and they would do all the work. This provides them with a valuable skill, and costs very little of my time in general. We are now planning a training program that while it may not be free, will be very inexpensive and contain all of the methods and techniques that we have used and refined for the past 5 years."
