European Microwave Week, 2010

- a preview of 13th European Microwave Week, EuMW to be held at CNIT, La Defense, Paris from 26 September to 1 October 2010.

European Microwave Week, EuMW continues its series of successful events, with its 13th at the CNIT La Defense, Paris. EuMW 2010 returns to Paris for what promises to be an important and unforgettable event. Bringing industry, academia and commerce together, European Microwave Week 2010 will see an estimated 1700 conference delegates, over 5000 visitors and 250 plus exhibitors.

The EuMW exhibition has over 252 exhibiting companies, taking up 7,000 square metres (gross) the show floor and it is a prime example of 'Connecting the World' as the exhibition has attracted key companies from across the globe. Exhibitors not only emanate from Western Europe but also from farther afield, including Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, with a significant number of Chinese companies and a marked increase in the Korean representation. Closer to home, the French Pavilion, which began when EuMW last visited Paris in 2005, and has travelled with the show to every venue since, attracts local interest with smaller companies and distributors banding together to have a collective presence.

The overall European Microwave Week EuMW, combines four major focuses:

• Four Major Conferences
• Associated Workshops
• Tailored Courses and Seminars for industrial participants and scientists
• A Leading International Trade Show

Four EuMW conferences

Spanning the length of the week, choose from four separate but complementary conferences starting from Sunday 26th September:

• The European Microwave Conference (EuMC):   The 40th European Microwave Conference (EuMC) that will be held from 28 September to 30 September, is the core of European Microwave Week 2010, the largest event in Europe dedicated to microwave electronics.
• The European Wireless Technology Conference (EuWiT):   The European Microwave Association is pleased to bring you the third European Wireless Technology (EuWiT) Conference, which will be held from 27 to 28 September 2010.
• The European Radar Conference (EuRAD):   The 7th European Radar Conference (EuRAD 2010) will be held from 30 September to 1 October 2010. This Radar Conference is the major European forum for the present status and the future trends in the field of radar technology and subsystems, radar system design and evaluation, and pertaining applications.
• The European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC):   The 5th European Microwave Integrated Circuits (EuMIC) Conference will be held from 27 to 28 September 2010. This conference has evolved from the highly successful GAAS Association and EuMA. This microwave integrated circuits conference will continue to help make European Microwave Week the largest event in Europe related to RF microelectronics.

Additional EuMW benefits

Regardless of their origin the exhibitors recognise the importance of participating in the largest trade show dedicated to RF and microwaves in Europe. The show floor offers a stage where companies can showcase their wares to a focused audience and put their latest and most innovative products under the spotlight. It has become an exhibition that manufacturers target to launch new and significant products and a conduit for them to 'connect' with their existing and potential customers in order to discuss specific requirements, sound out possible future developments and get informed feedback.

For the first time at a Europe RF and Microwave event the set up of Interactive Poster Sessions in specially constructed modules, within the exhibition hall, with seating, will enable authors to present their results interactively, discuss their findings face to face and obtain immediate feedback.

European Microwave Week has, particularly in recent years, aimed to provide useful, practical workshops. In 2010, companies include Agilent Technologies, Rhode & Schwarz, NXP and National Instruments all offering attendees the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and guidance.

With all of this going on during the week, European Microwave Week is a major event in the year for anyone involved in RF and microwave technology. It combines an exhibition with conferences and a major networking event.
