ATLANTA – PCB West today announced the largest three-day conference in its 25-year history will take place this fall in Santa Clara, CA.

PCB West, the largest conference and exhibition for printed circuit board design, fabrication and assembly in the Silicon Valley, will feature some 73 presentations during the September 13-15 event.

This year’s event includes 21 full- and half-day tutorials and workshops, plus several more two-hour presentations, in keeping with attendee demand for longer sessions.

Topics range from leading-edge technologies such as flex circuit design and fabrication, RF and microwave design, embedded components, and high-speed design, to presentations on basic printed circuit design and fabrication and SMT assembly.

The conference will offer 18 free presentations on Sept. 14. PCB West also features a free, all-day electronics assembly track. The program is now available at pcbwest.com.

PCB West will be held September 13-15, 2016, at the Santa Clara (CA) Convention Center. The event also includes a one-day exhibition.

“It is a testament to the vitality of the industry that we bring you the largest conference in our 25 years of producing PCB West,” said UPMG vice president and conference chair Mike Buetow. “The Silicon Valley remains the epicenter of the electronics industry, and we are pleased PCB West is seen as integral to printed circuit design and development.”

Now in its 25th year, PCB West showcases the leading companies in the PCB industry, including all the top CAD and CAM vendors and top names in printed circuit fabrication and electronics assembly. The September 2015 event attracted more than 1,900 attendees from the PCB, HDI, electronics assembly and circuit board test markets.
