PEACHTREE CITY, GA – APRIL 24, 2024 – The discounted price for the PCB East 2024 technical conference ends May 3, conference organizers said today. From May 4 through June 4, registrants will pay the advanced conference price, which is $100 more than the “early bird” rate.
The technical program for PCB East 2024 features more than 75 hours of in-depth electronics engineering training from leading experts such as Rick Hartley, Dan Beeker, Tomas Chester, Zach Peterson and Susy Webb.
The conference will be held June 4 to 7 at the Boxboro Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Boxborough, MA. It features classes for every level of experience, from novice to expert.
The scope of classes ranges from basics on design engineering and circuit grounding, to DDR5 routing, impedance characterization, controlling noise and EMI, thermal management, board stackups and design for assembly.
More than half the presentations are new to the PCEA, including ones on SMT equipment validation, medical wearable device compliance, flex design, AI in electronics, and signal integrity/power integrity. A special all-day session on UHDI design and manufacturing rounds out the technical conference.
“Registration for this year’s technical conference is looking strong, and we look forward to an event that meets the needs of the entire electronics supply chain,” said Mike Buetow, president, PCEA.
Registration for the technical conference and the exhibition is open at pcbeast.com.
An exhibition featuring more than 65 leading suppliers to the electronics design, manufacturing and assembly industry will be held June 5.
PRINTED CIRCUIT DESIGN & FAB and CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY magazines are media partners for the event.
