Meet your new business partner at MEMS Executive Congress!
September 8, 2011 – 8:13 pm
November 2-3, 2011 | Monterey, California | Monterey Plaza Resort and Spa
In addition to all the great content, MEMS Executive Congress also provides attendees plenty of networking time throughout the event that enables interaction among peers in a fun and casual environment.
Wednesday Evening, November 2 – Dinner in the Open Sea Wing at the Monterey Aquarium.
 |
Monterey Bay AquariumSit by the largest window in North America and enjoy a fish-eye view of the sharks, tunas and sea turtles while chatting about that day’s panel of MEMS market analysts and their forecasts. Take a stroll and drift away with the jellies as you sample delicacies and finger foods. |
Thursday Evening, November 3 – Dinner at the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa
| Dinner will be served at the host hotel, located on Cannery Row, the historic site of now-defunct sardine canning factories made famous by John Steinbeck. You’ll view the beautiful Monterey Bay while dining and exchanging conversation about the future of the MEMS industry.After dinner, we’ll continue with libations at the lobby bar. Drinks are sponsored by Coventor. |  |
Friday Morning, November 4– Golf Outing Sponsored by Lam Research
 |
The networking opportunities don’t have to end on Thursday. Join us for a golf outing at Pacific Groves Golf Links. Situated on the tip of the scenic Monterey Peninsula just 2.5 miles away from the Monterey Plaza Hotel and Spa, this historic 18-hole golf course overlooks Point Pinos and the Pacific Ocean and features both parkland and links-style nines. |
In its seventh year, MEMS Executive Congress is the executive conference that connects the MEMS supply chain with MEMS end-users. Through keynotes, panel discussions, and numerous networking opportunities, MEMS Executive Congress creates an intimate forum for decision-makers to grow the global MEMS market.

Industry leaders scheduled to speak at the iNEMI MEMS Workshop
September 6, 2011 – 5:26 pm
MEMS Workshop: Needs & Opportunities
September 15-16 (following the EMPC 2011 Conference)
Hilton Metropole Brighton, UK
Organized by iNEMI
Supported by MEMS Industry Group (MIG)
ST Microelectronics’ Benedetto Vigna, Group Vice President and General Manager of ST Microelectronics’ (STM, ST) MEMS, Sensors, and High-Performance Analog Division, will deliver keynote at iNEMI MEMS workshop
Thought leaders from the electronics industry and research community will come together this September to tackle the challenges of developing and adopting MEMS technologies. Make plans now to join the discussion.
This meeting is intended to set the priorities and direction for future industry-led collaborative programs. Your participation will enable you to help set this agenda for the electronics industry.
Join speakers from: Bosch, Coventor, Fraunhofer IZM, imec, iNEMI, Léti, Tronics Group,
Yole Développement and more as we:
• Identify the major technology areas where the electronics industry has the greatest potential impact on improving the reliability, testability, performance, and cost of MEMS–based solutions.
• For the high-priority challenges, identify and begin to define collaborative projects that iNEMI and other organizations can develop that will either partially or fully address the technology and supply chain gaps requiring electronics industry leadership.
• Form action groups to define and execute the required industrial collaborative programs.
• Define research and development needs to support these programs.
Registration
(Fees listed are in US dollars.)
• iNEMI members: free
• MIG members: $250 (contact Kacey Wherley for coupon code) at kwherley@memsindustrygroup.org

Consumer MEMS to See Highest Growth Yet This Year at 37 Percent
September 6, 2011 – 10:30 am
Smartphones and media tablets drive expansion; 3-axis gyroscope is the star MEMS device
Contributed by Jérémie Bouchaud, Director and Principal Analyst, MEMS, iSuppli
The MEMS market for its largest and most dynamic sector, consumer and mobile devices, is set to generate record growth in 2011 on the back of robust exposure in smart-phone and tablet applications, according to a Consumer & Mobile MEMS Market Tracker report from information and analysis provider IHS.
Revenue in 2011 for consumer and mobile MEMS will hit $2.25 billion, up a best-ever expansion level of 37 percent, compared to the previous high-water mark of 27 percent in 2010 when revenue reached $1.64 billion. Consumer MEMS growth slowed to 6 percent in 2009 during the crucial period of recovery following the deep economic crisis of the prior year, but that has proven to be the only soft spot for the market. Overall, the five-year revenue prospects starting from 2010 call for solid growth by a factor of nearly three to $4.54 billion in 2015, equivalent to a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 22.5 percent.
