Introduction: Practical Reliability and Maintenance Engineering Symposium

The International PRM Symposium provides a forum for expert presenters from various industries, universities and governments to meet with circuit board designers, EDA users, mechanical engineers and reliability practitioners, in order to study and understand the common causes of failures in electronics and mechanics. It also provides a comprehensive review of the tools and techniques used to identify those potential failures in order to best handle real-world challenges.

The symposium will take place in several locations around the world. Various experienced practitioners will present the latest innovative methods.  For upcoming events, click on the Previews seminar icon.

Presenters include various industry experts.
