Counterfeit Electronics & Materials Symposium and Workshop

This international event will feature domain expert speakers from Europe, the UK, and USA and will focus on current trends and threats and new developments in combating counterfeits in the supply chain. As well as current and emerging new threats, delegates will also be able to hear about current and developing best practice for the management of counterfeits in the supply chain, current and developing new methods for the detection of counterfeits and how to access further information.

There will be plenty of opportunity for delegates to raise questions, participate in discussion and interact with speakers during the day. Delegates will also be able to meet potential solution providers during breaks in the co-located tabletop exhibition space. Industry professionals who are new to the threat and want to learn more as well as experienced practitioners in counterfeit mitigation practices are sure to find this seminar valuable. Online booking will soon be available on the event website.

In the meantime, the organisers are currently seeking abstracts for presentations from interested parties, which should be submitted by 15th November at the latest. For guidance on how to submit an abstract, including a summary of the topics of interest, please go to https://smta.org/mpage/anticounterfeit-call-for-abstracts/
