Through conference presentations, workshops and live panel discussions, participants will have the opportunity to get up to speed on the latest developments in EMC testing, standards, design, risk management and compliance.

The first day of the main conference will cover essential topics such as CISPR, RED, ANSI and military standards, maintaining test facility accuracy and testing on space systems. The perennially popular Lee Hill of Silent Solutions will also be on hand to entertain and educate on EMI debug techniques.
