This is the first newsletter of 2016. We will also publish newsletters in October and December. Planning for ITC2016 is moving well along. We look forward to seeing you at the Ft. Worth Convention Center on November 15 - 17. This venue has excellent amenities to support all of our business and conference needs, customer hospitality and recreation.
Exhibition
Many booth spaces for ITC2016 were sold directly on the exhibits floor at ITC2015 in Disneyland. We still have booth spaces available for this year's ITC. Please contact Courtesy Associates if you would like more information. Click here to see a list of
exhibitors signed up for ITC 2016
; there are 43 so far.
Supporter opportunities have been updated now and are available for ITC2016. Click here for more information on

.
Admission to the exhibits floor is free of charge during all open hours. Since Ft. Worth is about an 1 hour from DFW Airport and we expect a good draw of visitors from the semiconductor and related technology companies in the Dallas / Ft. Worth / Austin area
Reminder to Exhibitors and Supporters
ITC will release the conference advance program shortly, as well as the online registration system. These actions dramatically increase visitor traffic to ITCs website. We suggest that each exhibitor and supporter review the exhibitor area of our website and let us know if there are any errors or changes needed to the description of your company, logo, link or any other important information.
Also, please review and use the
Exhibitor Manual
on the website. The Exhibitor Manual includes exhibition floor regulations, email blast application instructions, Corporate Forum guidelines, marketing and supportership opportunities and much more.
Program Update
The ITC paper selection process is in final stages. Once again we will offer a compelling selection of technical topics presented by the world's leading researcher in test, and an impressive list of distinguished speakers from industry and academia. We will make focused program announcements prior to release of the ITC advance program in July. Stay tuned.
Poster Session
The Poster Session will be on Wednesday in the Networking Area in the Exhibit Hall. We are expecting 24 Posters and will be available for viewing during the lunch period from Noon - 2:00 PM.
The poster session will be held on the exhibits floor in an effort to draw more people to exhibitor booths.
