Learn to build first-time-right boards with solid signal-integrity and no excessively expensive HDI techniques when Lee Ritchey teaches his courses in Copenhagen May 23-27, 2016. One SI Week – three courses to choose from or combine as you want. For engineers in layout and circuit design.
The first three SI Weeks in Stockholm proved to be great successes with more than 70 engineers from across the globe attending several different courses in the wide field of signal integrity. All participants took advantage of the course format to ask a lot of questions to the presenter and network with other engineers and the sponsors during breaks.
What it is
Mon/Tue/Wed is the updated signal integrity course with Lee Ritchey. Now with all the high speed differential information to build systems to 32+ Gbps.
Do the “PLUS-version” to get a full day of hands-on simulation Thursday as well.
Friday is the improved Lee Ritchey stackup design course.
Sponsor events are added outside the real course schedule, to provide additional information and better opportunity to network.

Who should go
The courses are relevant for all designers of digital and mixed digital/analog electronics at the board level. PCB layout engineers will also benefit greatly from this. If you are doing 5+ GBps signaling, you must take the 3rd day on stackup design as it contains important information for you on how to best use PCB materials.
How it feels
A time-lapse video of the 3-day course by Lee Ritchey on general signal integrity shows how 3 days of theory feels – notice that everyone is still smiling on the last day. I take that as a good indication that it was worth it. See for yourself how 3 days of training compressed into 30 sec looks.

Where it is

Arne Jacobsens Allé 7
2300 Copenhagen S.
Denmark
Free parking available. WiFi. Easy access through train & metro station – Ørestad. Find it on Google Maps.
Accommodation
A good nearby hotel is Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers – only 11 min walking distance. Another good option is AC Hotel Bella Sky which is only 1 stop away with the metro or 12 min walking distance.
In case you’d prefer a hotel in the city – you can take the train from Ørestad st. to Copenhagen Central Station (10 min.) or the metro from Ørestad st. to Nørreport St (12 min, 7 stops).
Regarding public transportation, we would recommend buying a Flex Card (7 days) or Copenhagen Card. Check here for more information.
We are looking forward to meet you in Copenhagen 2016. Please sign up early to secure your seat.

Sponsors
The sponsors help make this possible by supporting the course and the massive marketing effort required to get so many busy engineers from all over Europe assembled in one place. Without the sponsors, this course would not be feasible. We do not receive any kick-back from sponsors.
