TOKYO, March 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading semiconductor test equipment supplier Advantest Corporation (TSE: 6857) is organizing a virtual tradeshow on March 10-11 to share valuable technical and market data with its customers worldwide without risking attendees’ exposure to potential illness from the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Using web conferencing, technical experts from Advantest will present the newest semiconductor-testing technologies and best practices as well as interact with strategic partners, current and potential customers. In addition, the online forum will feature talks on the state of the industry and the market outlook from two senior executives of SEMI, the global industry organization representing the electronics-manufacturing supply chain.
“We developed this virtual tradeshow to promote awareness of today’s most advanced semiconductor test solutions despite the cancellation of many industry tradeshows and conferences due to the tragic coronavirus outbreak,” said Judy Davies, vice president of global marketing communications for Advantest. “As we work to support our customers by sharing timely and relevant information through an international event, it is very appropriate to have SEMI take part and provide their insights as well.”
“SEMI is excited to participate in this virtual trade show as Advantest turns to online communications to ensure the safety of attendees and maintain the free flow of advantageous information via key industry insights to our members worldwide,” said Ajit Manocha, president and CEO of SEMI.
On March 10 and 11, Advantest’s innovative virtual tradeshow will feature presentations by an international array of nine speakers sharing their expert insights in various languages. To promote the broadest use of the information presented, sessions will be presented in English, Mandarin Chinese and Korean.
