For Your Information -- Doug Ogden Vice President, Customer Services

The International Applied Reliability Symposium (ARS) provides a forum for expert presenters from industry and government to come together with reliability practitioners from all over the world to discuss the application of reliability principles to meet real world challenges. (For more information, see http://www.ARSymposium.org.)

As the organizers of the ARS, we have been very happy with the response received from attendees over the last several years and we have been expanding the program to better meet the needs of engineers throughout the world. In addition to the North American ARS scheduled for June 20 - 22, 2007 in San Diego, we have recently completed events in Europe, India and South America. The final ARS for 2007 will be held in Singapore on October 25 - 26, 2007.

It is not too early to begin thinking about participating in the events that will be held in the Europe, India, South America, North America and Asia Pacific regions in 2008. Tentative dates for next year have already been posted and I would encourage you to consider getting more involved by submitting a presentation proposal for one of these upcoming events. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
