NORTH READING, Mass. - April 27, 2009 - The 2009 Teradyne Users Group (TUG) Conference will be held May 5-7. In consideration of the current economic climate, the TUG Steering Committee is reducing costs by inviting Semiconductor Test Program attendees to participate via the Web. The Defense & Aerospace Program will be held in the traditional face-to-face manner at Teradyne’s headquarters in North Reading, MA.

TUG continues its 26-year tradition of quality knowledge exchange between customers and Teradyne technical experts. This year’s conference will be available at a reduced rate.

The program for the 2009 TUG Conference is available at the TUG Web site, where customers can review the technical offerings and register online for the conference. Attendees must register by May 1.

“The 2009 Steering Committee is excited about the workshops, presentations and technical papers being offered this year,” said Johnny Steck, senior test engineer, Texas Instruments and TUG 2009 chair. “Through the use of the Internet, we are able to bring TUG to users around the world and in the comfort of their own location. We hope this allows users who wouldn’t normally be able to attend to participate and see the value that TUG offers.”
