Each year FormFactor’s COMPASS users’ group conference brings together FormFactor customers from around the world to discuss the products and technologies shaping our future. At the event, industry leaders and speakers from corporations, leading-edge research institutions and FormFactor, share test insights on a wide variety of emerging applications, such as 5G, silicon photonics, trends in advanced packages, and millimeter-wave measurement and calibration.

COMPASS 2020 is scheduled for November 17th (in US/Europe time zones) and November 18th (in Asia time zones). The event will feature a three-hour program which will include keynote and technical presentations (each approximately 20-25 minutes), and a roundtable/breakout session for Q&A.
