The largest EMC conference in the United Kingdom will be held purely virtually in 2021, organizer Rohde & Schwarz announced.
The conference will take place over three days from Feb. 9-11, 2021, in a virtual replica of Rohde & Schwarz's Munich headquarters. The schedule will be a mix of live lectures, training sessions, interactive elements and virtual trade show. Thematically, the focus will be on EMC-compliant design, test procedures and EMC standards.
Industry Meeting with 500 Participants
Demystifying EMC started seven years ago as a one-day conference and has now become the leading industry gathering for EMC experts in the United Kingdom, with around 500 participants expected, according to Rohde & Schwarz. The development points in the direction of the »industry veterans« such as EMV in Cologne and Stuttgart. Although it has a different status with around 2800 visitors, it was also founded much earlier (1988) and is implemented by a pure trade fair organizer. In 2021, EMV will also be held purely virtually.
