Conference Tutorials on Tuesday, March 20, 2018:

In response to 2017 attendee requests, we have added a full day of tutorials on Tuesday, March 20, 2018. The four, in-depth tutorials will focus on how to create a Physics of Failure based organization to improve overall reliability, product quality and customer satisfaction.

Tutorial number 4 is a comprehensive review of battery reliability and how to prevent failures and thermal events.

Attendees can register for any or all of the tutorials.

Sherlock User's Technical Training on Tuesday, March 20 and Wednesday, March 21, 2018:

Sherlock Users are able to pick and choose from 8 different technical modules that best meet their needs.

The Design for Reliability Conference is emerging as one of the most important ones for the aerospace, automotive, defense, and other high performance (ADHP) electronics industries. It’s a place to meet some of the most knowledgeable and accomplished professionals in the fields of design for reliability, and reliability analysis. Attendees will learn about the latest methods, requirements, and industry standards; including the use of the Sherlock Automated Design Analysis software. Sherlock can help ADHP designers and reliability professionals in so many ways. It’s not just a one-for-one replacement for existing methods; it can help us do things that the existing methods can’t do. I highly recommend the Design for Reliability Conference for anyone who wants to be at 'the front of the pack.'

DfR Solution’s Design for Reliability Conference is the place to meet electronics industry experts from across every major industry. At this conference you will learn about the newest tools and techniques to efficiently design reliable, cost-effective systems. You will also learn how others are applying DfR Solutions’ tools to address some very challenging problems.

It is one of the rare opportunities to listen to experts in other industries and to socialize during the conference giving you the opportunity to follow-up with the speaker and other attendees. I was very impressed with the variety of subjects and the caliber of the speakers at the 2017 Conference. It is a 'must attend' event for all electronics reliability specialists.
