PEACHTREE CITY, GA – MARCH 30, 2026 – Registrants for the PCB East exhibition this April will gain access to five free technical sessions (plus a keynote presentation) ranging from printed circuit design to fabrication and assembly, the Printed Circuit Engineering Association (PCEA) announced today.
The free sessions take place on April 29 at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA, and cover topics about AI and PCB design, flex design, simulation, UHDI, and more.
“Free Wednesday” starts with a session on “The Most Common Issues Seen in Incoming Designs for PCB Fabrication,” by Mike Tucker, director of field applications engineering for Shennan Circuits Co., and Ray Fugitt, technical marketing engineer with Siemens.
Next, Stephen Chavez, senior product marketing manager of Siemens and PCEA chairman, will speak about “DFM for Ultra-High-Density Interconnect (UHDI).”
