Submission Deadline
Please submit your abstract by January 20th 11.59 PM PST.
Please note, due to the high volume of submissions we receive, we cannot guarantee that late submissions will be accepted.
What makes a successful submission?
The vision of UPM is to provide strong technical papers to the industry and to nurture collaboration between end-users and service and technology providers. The goal of the conference is to advance microelectronics manufacturing. You should submit a comprehensive abstract and strictly follow the deadlines:
Please make sure that your abstract is as precise as possible at this stage and clearly addresses a specific technical problem or innovative solution and refers to data. The inclusion of commercial or otherwise unacceptable content in your presentation will mean you are not invited to speak at UPM 2020.
The Presentation Guidelines include a strict timeline that all presenters must adhere to. Failure to do so may result in your presentation being rejected.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Alice Young at alice.young@globalwaterintel.com.
Submission Deadline: January 20th 2020 at 11.59 PM PST.
