Now only weeks away, National Electronics Week’s South Africa debut is almost sold out thanks to widespread interest from high-profile exhibitors. Online pre-registration has opened for visitors, who are being encouraged to visit www.new-expo.co.za and sign-up to beat the queues expected at the event.
Taking place at Johannesburg’s prestigious Sandton Convention Centre over March 9th – 10th, NEW SA 2010 offers extensive FREE business, networking and educational opportunities for visitors. Attendees will be able to evaluate new and proven technologies from the likes of Actum, Avnet Kopp, CirTech, Dage, Dizzy Enterprises, Electrocomp, Essential Energy, Europlacer, Hot Tools, Microchip, Ocean Optics, RF Design, Richo, RS Components, Saki, Speedprint, Zetech – and many more. In addition, an extensive FREE technical seminar line-up includes an exclusive programme from Microsoft. The technology giant’s free, one-day Windows Embedded Explore training course will provide participants with relevant product and technical information in addition to practical experience through hands-on labs and exercises.
NEW SA 2010 Event Director, Claire Saunders, explains: “South Africa has long deserved a show designed to support its growing electronics industry. NEW SA 2010 is that show and we’re delighted at the support we’ve received from all corners of this vibrant marketplace. Having almost sold out in record time, we expect demand from visitors to be equally high so I’d encourage people to visit our website and pre-register to attend. It’s completely free and is a guaranteed way to beat the large queues we’re expecting on both days of the show. Located in the heart of Johannesburg’s business, hotel and entertainment district, the show offers something for everyone. Supported by excellent transport links it’s also highly accessible – so there’s really no excuse not to be part of the NEW era and help put South Africa electronics on the map!”
NEW SA visitors will also discover dedicated support for the widest range of electronic sectors since the show spans Components, Design & Development, Embedded, EMS, Photonics & Laser, Production Assembly, Solar & Green Design, Test & Measurement and Wireless. Reinforcing this broad reach, other educational highlights include IPC certified instructor training from Advanced Rework Technology. Visitors can choose from IPC-A-610 ‘Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies’ or IPC/WHMA-A-620 ‘Requirements and Acceptance for Cable & Wire Harness Assemblies. The SMART Group SA will also be running an FREE exclusive seminar programme featuring practical guides to manufacturing while Ocean Optics’ Roland Kuijvenhoven will be examining Spectroscopy in Field Applications.
