The 28th Annual Symposium of the Institute of Circuit Technology, held at the Infolog Conference Centre in Russell Square on 1st May 2002, was entitled "Niche Manufacturing" and drew a capacity audience.

ICT Vice-Chairman Chris Wall introduced the event, commenting that with the trend of volume PCB manufacturing to migrate to the Far East, niche manufacture was where the UK industry would find its future, capitalising on the strength of its engineering resources, and its ability to be flexible, innovative and service-orientated.

A remarkably well-balanced symposium programme reflected the spirit of these comments, with input from process innovation, material supply, PCB fabrication, reliability testing and OEM viewpoints.
