Our Successful 2010 Event

Top executives all assembled for the Global Electronics Forum (GEF) held in the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore on 9th-11th March 2011.

This event once again proved to be both informative and enjoyable with delegates forging lasting relationships, creating new business partners and generating many new opportunities.

GEF 2010 included keynote presentations and workshops delivered by immanent speakers and panelists made up of industry experts as well as an intense schedule of pre-arranged and informal business meetings and networking.

Alongside the conference programme, delegates at GEF 2010 enjoyed numerous opportunities to network with fellow peers and build new relationships. Attendees at this year’s GEF were positive that business would be generated from the meetings that took place.

About GEF

The Global Electronics Forum is the industry’s most prestigious invitation-only interpersonal event. Global Heads of Technology, Design, R&D, and Procurement can meet with electronic component, embedded systems, semiconductor, software and service suppliers to define effective solutions for electronic device design and production.

Growth has come from all segments of the electronics market, from cell phones and digital cameras to computers and peripherals. Other primary areas triggering the mounting demand for electronic components and embedded systems include the rising proportion of electronics in automobiles and increasing levels of automation spanning all major application areas from industrial to medical.

Overall, multiple-market push, global competitiveness and the ever-shortening life cycle of electronic gadgets will continue to drive technological development in 2009 and beyond. In addition, environment-friendly manufacturing and the delivery of products that are safer at the end of their product life cycle have become essential and in many cases, compulsory to technology-business competitiveness.

These collective trends and requirements have led to the need for an international forum to not only address these issues at the highest level, but also act as a vital platform and catalyst for innovative solutions, future collaborations and lucrative partnerships. This event will be co-located in with our 7th annual Global Semiconductor Forum to maximise networking opportunities
