SATA-IO Plugfest #17
May 20-23, 2013
Taipei, Taiwan
Gold Sponsor: Tektronix
Objective:
The objective of the SATA-IO Plugfest is to act as a catalyst to bring companies working on Serial ATA together in one place at one time in order to make it easy for them to quickly assess the health of their product through interoperability testing. As we deploy SATA products into the market, it is critical that we, as industry suppliers, work together to ensure proper operation and interoperability.
The SATA-IO Plugfest is open to all companies working on Serial ATA compatible products - including system and motherboard vendors, host bus adapter vendors, hard drive vendors, optical drive vendors, cable vendors, silicon vendors, storage enclosure vendors, OS vendors, BIOS vendors, test tool vendors, etc. Registration for members is $200 per product team. It is not required that vendors be members of the SATA-IO, although non-SATA-IO members assessed a $1,000.00 per test team attendance fee.
Registration Details:
Registration for this event has closed.
Remember to pre-register EACH individual from your company to obtain a badge, to be confirmed for meals, and to obtain workshop materials. Attendees without a SATA-IO Plugfest badge will not be allowed to attend the event.
Members: SATA-IO Member companies who register to test a product/s at the workshop are referred to as SATA-IO Member Teams. Each Member Team vendor can bring as many of the same type of product that can fit into a block of one testing session (typically one hour). Registration for Member Teams is $200 and includes registration for two supporting engineers. Additional support engineers above two will incur a $100.00 fee per individual.
Non-Members: Companies that are not SATA-IO Members who register to test a product/s at the workshop are referred to as SATA-IO Non-Member Teams. Each Non-Member Team Vendor can bring as many of the same type of product that can fit into a block of one testing sessions (typically one hour). Registration for Non-Member Teams costs $1,000.00 per product team requesting a block of one hour test sessions, and includes registration for three supporting engineers. Additional support engineers above three will incur a $100 fee per individual. Do note that if you are not a current member of the SATA-IO, we can easily sign you up prior to your registration. If you have need for more than one test slot, it would be more cost effective to become a member of the SATA-IO. Please contact administration for information on becoming a member!
Registration closes May 10.
