SMYRNA, GA – More than 2,000 PCB designers, fabricators and assemblers registered for Virtual PCB (www.virtual-pcb.com), the industry's only virtual trade show and conference, which took place this week.

The live event was held February 24 – 25, and the show will remain open in an archive mode for two months.

Exhibitors include several leading suppliers of placement, soldering and test equipment, materials, software and bare boards. The technical conference included Webinars on design, simulation, soldering, lead-free assembly and environmental issues from well-known industry experts.

New this year were technical chats featuring experts on subjects ranging from CAD and MCAD software to laminates, and from assembly process defect solutions to the potential of alternative energy platforms for SMT manufacturers.

“We found the technical conference to be a huge draw, with some Webinars attracting several hundred attendees, which simple logistics would prevent at the industry’s ‘live’ events,” said Mike Buetow, editor in chief of Circuits Assembly, which cosponsored Virtual PCB.

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.
