IPC E-Textiles 2020 Virtual Summit provides strategies for how to turn an e-textiles-based concept into production as a real-world project. The two-day event will consist of educational workshops followed by interactive panel discussions with attendees. Speakers will use web cameras during presentations and panel discussions, and attendees are encouraged to do the same.

This event is ideal for companies actively involved in e-textiles development, EMS and OEM companies, or materials suppliers investigating how to apply e-textiles technologies to future products.
