Featured Event

The world of inertial devices is in a rapid state of change. Value is shifting. Players are changing. The entire industry of motion is in motion. While we all know the current players, our growth depends on meeting and engaging the emerging innovators. The world leader in MEMS technology information, Yole Developpement, is harnessing the power and efficiency of an exciting new networking and collaboration event.

Not another tradeshow or conference, the MEMS in Motion Collaboration Summit promises the freedom to meet, learn, talk, and ultimately collaborate in a time-efficient and casual environment. The Yole team will bring together industry leaders for this first-of-a-kind, two-day event in Palm Springs. Qualified attendees will enjoy exclusive Yole plenary sessions; small, facilitated roundtable discussions; and hours of small group and one-on-one discussion activities.
