For Attendees: 2013 Registration and Preliminary Agenda
These meetings will be held from April 9-12, 2013 (Tuesday thru Friday) at the San Diego Marriott La Jolla. In 2013 these meetings will be combined at the same site over four days - one registration fee for two cutting edge, relevant meetings. The Single-Event Effects (SEE) Symposium will be held from April 9-11 and Military and Aerospace Programmable Logic Devices (MAPLD) from April 11-12. An industrial exhibit will be held on the evening of April 10th and a joint SEE/MAPLD technical session on the morning of April 11th. SEE Symposium presentations will address all aspects of single-event effects (SEE) in microelectronic and photonic devices, circuits, and systems. MAPLD presentations will explore the use of programmable devices for use in military and aerospace with an emphasis of proper operation in extreme conditions at high altitude and in space.
SEE-MAPLD is proud to announce a new feature as part of the conference week:
Newcomers' Training Sessions
The intent of these training sessions is to aid in the cross-fertilization between the two meetings.
On Wed afternoon (during the SEE Symposium), a session will be held on "SEE for Newcomers".
On Thurs afternoon (during the MAPLD Conference), a session will be held on "FPGAs for Newcomers".
Each session will be between 2-4 hours in length and provide a mix of instructor-led training and discussion. These will be held in parallel to the regular meeting presentations. Further details will be provided as the meetings grow closer.
Once a SEE-MAPLD attendee is registered, they may sign up for either of the 2 sessions or both on a first-come, first-served (i.e., the earlier you register, the greater the chance of nabbing a slot).
Space is limited and we will keep an "overflow" list in case of no shows.
To sign up, register for SEE-MAPLD as an attendee (or exhibitor comp). Our registration company (STAMP Services) will then email you a signup option.
Side meeting rooms
Please remember: limited side meeting rooms will be available for one-on-one or small group meetings. We ask that you do not request a side meeting room for more than 10 people during main session hours. Contact STAMP Services for details.
Podcast option
Want to learn the latest in SEE-MAPLD to help your projects but travel budgets got you down?
Fear not, we are offering the option to purchase a podcast of the oral sessions (available for free if you are a registered attendee).
Podcast will be available after June 1, 2013 for download. See registration page to sign up.
Included: a one-time download option of the main sessions only.
NOT included: newcomers training sessions nor any one-on-one interactions with exhibitors or side meetings.
