PEACHTREE CITY, GA – The Printed Circuit Engineering Association and JITX today announced the printed circuit board design industry’s first meetup will take place October 9, 2024, at the PCB West trade show.

The event will feature networking and a special panel on generative AI and will be held at the Santa Clara (CA) Convention Center following the close of the exhibition on October 9.

The meetup is an opportunity to discuss the latest trends, best practices and solutions for using generative AI in hardware design with like-minded professionals in a relaxed and informal setting. The get-together features a period of networking followed by a short panel discussion and will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

“In the spirit of collaboration and camaraderie, PCEA and JITX are thrilled to invite all registrants of PCB West to an evening of insightful conversations and networking at our inaugural PCB Design Community Meetup,” said Mike Buetow, president, PCEA. “Whether you're a seasoned professional or just beginning your design career, our larger aim is to put the fun back into learning about our profession.”

“We're excited to establish a new community for PCB designers in partnership with PCEA. Today, there's exploding interest in electronics design, especially as we work to reshore hardware manufacturing and engineering. However, we’re missing the common ground for new and experienced designers to network,” said Duncan Haldane, CEO of JITX. “We’re in a golden age of computer architecture and AI, and we designers can benefit if we can pull in a focused set of tools and resources that truly benefit experienced designers, while also attracting the next generation of engineers.”

Attendance is free for all badged registrants of PCB West. To register for a free badge for PCB West, visit pcbwest.com
