PCB East Returns to New England

Published: 01 May 2009

WALTHAM, MA – PCB East opened its one-day exhibition to an enthusiastic cross section of electronics industry professionals. PCB East had been away from its New England roots for a while, spending a few years in North Carolina and Illinois. The design and fab community in and around Route 128 welcomed PCB East back with strong support, making the one-day table top exhibition, that ran from 11 a.m. through 7 p.m. on Wednesday, a well-attended event.

The electronics industry supply chain was well represented by exhibitors including EDA design tool and PCB design service providers; PCB fabrication and assembly companies; PCB fabrication materials suppliers; and allied electronics product and service suppliers. A complete list of exhibitors can be found at: www.pcbeast.com.  

The feedback from the exhibitors was overwhelmingly positive. The traffic was great and the quality and quantity of leads was reported to be better than some of the other, larger shows companies had attended earlier this year.

PCB East has expanded its draw to include companies up- and down-stream of the traditional EDA design tool and PCB design service providers. This has been changing over the past few years, as the requirements for design-to-fabrication and design-to-assembly collaboration has increased, along with the complexity of the PCBs.

This year, a number of PCB fabrication and OEM/ODM suppliers exhibited, showcasing products that are often specified from the design seat. Material suppliers, including Global Laminates, Rogers Corporation and Taconic, exhibited. Central Coating Co., a provider of EMI/RFI shielding and conformal coating services, provided information on shielding options that would be of interest to OEM/ODM designers.
