SMYRNA, GA – Following record-breaking attendee registration, Virtual PCB, the industry's only virtual trade show and conference, which took place this week, is now offered on-demand for the next two months.

More than 2,600 PCB designers, fabricators and assemblers registered for Virtual PCB (virtual-pcb.com), which took place March 2-4.

The live event drew more than 1,350 attendees from all over the world. The show is now available on-demand until May 4.

Exhibitors include several leading suppliers of assembly process equipment, design software, and bare boards. The technical conference includes webinars on design, signal integrity, lead-free soldering, tin whiskers, and other issues from well-known industry experts.

“This year’s Virtual PCB was the best event yet,” said Mike Buetow, Editor in Chief of CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY, which co-sponsored Virtual PCB. “The technical conference is clearly a huge draw, and the lively chats on tin whiskers and board reliability showed again that engineers don’t need to be face-to-face in order to engage in productive discussion and debate.”

A fully interactive, Web-based event, Virtual PCB incorporates all the critical features of a live event while allowing PCB design, fabrication and assembly equipment and materials buyers and sellers to interact online.
