The latest developments in communications and computing technologies are unleashing immense demand for new electronic technologies for communicating, storing and processing information. The builders of this information infrastructure - manufacturers of electronics capital equipment, semiconductor devices, enterprise storage systems, servers and embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. , power systems and contract electronics manufacturing - are facing major cyclical challenges on their secular, long-term growth path. Each year, CIBC World Markets' Semiconductor and Electronics Conference offers a venue for investors to learn first-hand about the latest products and developments in the industry. The timing this year is particularly relevant, as investors increasingly are focusing on the potential for a cyclical inflection in upcoming months.

A stuttering stuttering or stammering, speech disorder marked by hesitation and inability to enunciate consonants without spasmodic repetition. Known technically as dysphemia, it has sometimes been attributed to an underlying personality disorder. economy, massive inventory corrections and a drop in demand for everything from telecommunications equipment to cell phones have battered the electronics sector. But Irani, a two-time Wall Street Journal All-Star analyst, who predicted the current downturn last September, maintains that chip equipment and other electronics segments are cyclical, and that now is the time to be contrarian and to invest for the next growth cycle. "This conference gives our institutional investors the opportunity to focus on future electronics technologies which will have sharper revenue ramp into 2002. It is a great time for us to be looking at the big picture," Irani said, referring to the fact that "per capita [Latin, By the heads or polls.] A term used in the Descent and Distribution of the estate of one who dies without a will. It means to share and share alike according to the number of individuals. , semiconductor consumption worldwide is still only a fraction of levels already achieved in North America." Bolton added that, "Even in the battered communication IC segments, long-term opportunities remain superior, and growth fundamentals should recover into 2002 once channel inventories are digested."
