TEsD Talk: "Shockingly Enlightening: A Jolting Recap of the 2024 EOS/ESD Symposium"

Abstract

In a world where the slightest spark can mean the difference between success and a very, very bad day, the 2024 EOS/ESD Symposium stands as a beacon of knowledge, guiding us through the electrifying maze of electrical overstress and electrostatic discharge. Join us where we'll discharge all the accumulated knowledge of the past days in an electrifying summary.

Expect to be conducted through the highs, the lows, the ohms, and the volts of the symposium, from groundbreaking research revelations to shocking (pun intended) industry insights. We'll revisit the most electrifying talks, the most sparking debates, and the static-filled silences that said more than words ever could. With a current of humor running throughout, this presentation promises to ground you in watt you missed or want to relive.

Whether you're a seasoned professional with an insatiable appetite for electrical puns or a newcomer looking to get zapped with ∑ knowledge, this recap will ensure you leave the symposium with a smile on your face and a spark in your step. So, strap on your wireless antistatic wristbands (the legal team wants me to advise you this is a joke), and let's take one last trip down memory lane – it's going to be a shocking ride!
