Themed Microprocessing Symposia

• Narrows audience
• Potentially reduce participation/attendance of
  old-timers in microprocess technology
• Potentially bring in new participants, new blood
  from the subtopic community
• Could spawn new areas in the PDD!

56
Programming Idea

• Due to maturation of microchemical technology,
  narrow the symposium to a single sub-theme within
  microprocessing
• Examples
• Microprocess applications for energy
• Microprocess for pharma
• Microprocess for industrial production
