The event featured a series of conferences on China's hottest next- generation electronics technologies and included the following notable speakers:
* Isaac Wang, Senior Analyst, China Research for iSuppli Corporation,
discussing Automotive Electronics;

Professional Committee, discussing Green Power; and
* Professor Wang Zhihua of Tsinghua University, Vice Director of the
Beijing Semiconductor Association and Vice General Secretary of the
Design Branch of the CSIA, discussing Medical Electronics.
Conference sessions in all three cities drew full-house attendances with design innovators eager to learn about the latest technologies and products available from local and international exhibitors.
Yang Xiaoshen, an engineer working for Sichuan Aerospace and visitor to the event said: "I attend IIC-China specifically to learn about new IC technologies, design concepts and to get detailed technical support. This year, I gained an understanding of the latest video frequency and green power technologies, both of which are very important to my work. I met vendors of these technologies at the show and I plan to stay in touch with them as I plan my design work for the year ahead."
Riding on the success and popularity of the spring event, IIC-China plans a brand new educational conference for the fall. The program aims to continue focusing on China's most important industry trends and technologies and to add for the first time a series of technical application courses, where leading technology experts provide design engineers with practical, hands-on skills and information essential to their daily work.
The exhibition floor at IIC-China hosted top China semiconductor companies such as Beken Corp., Brite Semiconductor, China Integrated Circuit Design Corp., Shenzhen Biyadi Microelectronics and SI-EN Technology at this year's event. These local enterprises joined top international technology vendors including Fairchild Semiconductor, Fujitsu Microelectronics, International Rectifier, Intel, Intersil, Micrel, Microsoft, Numonyx, NXP Semiconductors, SG Micro, Spansion and STMicroelectronics as they promoted and showcased their latest technologies and products to China's engineering community at IIC-China.
Leading passive component suppliers at Components Zone included AAC Acoustic Technologies, CviLux Corp., Eyang Technology Development, Mueller Electric, Shenzhen Sun & Lynn Circuit and Xiamen Letdo Electronics.
Kamran Malek, Vice President of Marketing for Advanced MP Technology, who attended the Shenzhen IIC-China commented, "Participation in the IIC-China trade show has been a significant part of our marketing projects in South China for several years. With the recent surge of manufacturing and component demand, specifically in China, presentation of our services such as quick component shortage mitigation and long term cost saving programs were well received by the visitors during this exhibition."
IIC-China fall 2010 is scheduled to be held in September in two venues:
* Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center, Sept. 6-7, 2010
* Xi'an Greenland PICO International Convention & Exhibition Center,
Sept. 9-10, 2010
In Shenzhen, IIC-China fall 2010 is scheduled to be co-located for the very first time with the 12th China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE), a world-renowned exhibition which presents the most advanced optoelectronic technologies and innovations. EE Times-China Analysts are also planning to announce the results of the Ninth China IC Design House Survey at the show.
