Dear Friends,

I have two exciting announcements to make today! The first is about the availability of my latest magazine, the August issue. You've been expecting this in my update on the first of the month, and I hope you enjoy reading it. Secondly, and this is something you could not have expected, I am very pleased to be able to provide you with the recording of my panel discussion at this year's PCIM Europe. It's two sessions for SiC and one for GaN. So be ready for a three-hour update on the latest WBG achievements from the industry leaders. You can find it at bodospower.com/wbg What a great appetizer for my event in Munich in December!

Find all magazines from 2006 on in the free archive on my website. Do not miss our Chinese version bodospowerchina.com. There is no better way to communicate. As a publisher I serve the world: one magazine, on time, every time.

Kind Regards,

Bodo Arlt editor@bodospower.com
