Welcome

On behalf of The Global Semiconductor Forum (GSF) , I would like to welcome you to the September newsletter. This newsletter is designed to keep you up to speed with the latest developments at GSF, and in the semiconductor industry as a whole. We welcome all feedback from readers, and if you have information that you think is worthwhile sharing in the newsletter please contact us.

For the second year, the Global Electronics Forum (GEF) will run concurrently with GSF allowing us to provide solutions to the whole electronic supply chain.

GSF 2009 will include a series of private business development meetings between delegates and suppliers, a comprehensive conference programme for each stream covering keynote presentations and interactive seminars, as well as the opportunity to network with peers and colleagues.

The first day of GSF will encompass the golf tournament, sponsored by Accenture. This tournament will provide the perfect opportunity to meet fellow delegates and network during a round of golf at one of Bangkok's finest golf courses.
