More Than 40 Technical Sessions Scheduled for PCB West Virtual 2020
July 7, 2020 | UP Media GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
UP Media Group Inc. announced more than 40 technical sessions have been selected for PCB West Virtual 2020 this fall. The conference, which is moving to an online platform because of the novel coronavirus, takes place September 7-10.
This year’s conference features a pair of extended talks from Lee Ritchey on power delivery system design and stackup design, two talks from Dr. Eric Bogatin, and three full days of classes from Rick Hartley. The conference covers everything from RF/microwave and mixed-signal design, circuit grounding, understanding material choices, flex circuits, signal and power integrity, to fabrication and assembly processes. Talks are aimed at the spectrum of backgrounds, from novice to advanced.
“Like most conferences, we are putting the safety of our speakers and registrants ahead of any other priority. That said, we are elated to bring the best of the industry together for this unique technical conference,” said Mike Buetow, PCB West conference director and editorial director, UPMG. “Even those with severe travel restrictions will be able to participate in this year’s show. We will have more than 125 hours of training available – and the best part is, since it’s all on-demand, attendees won’t have to pick and choose which presentations to see.”
“As an added bonus, some of the speakers will be available for live question/answer sessions following their presentations,” Buetow added.
New presentations will be made available throughout the week and will be available on-demand for 30 days. Attendees will also receive certificates indicating the number of hours of training received at PCB West.
PCB West annually provides a conference and exhibition focused on the design and manufacture of PCBs, HDI, electronics assembly and circuit board test. The event annually attracts nearly 2,000 attendees.

SMTA’s Conducts First UHDI Symposium
03/29/2024 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineSMTA’s first UHDI Symposium in Peoria, Arizona, on Tuesday, March 26 featured a standout full-day technical program with 11 separate presentations on what will be required for our companies to move to ultra HDI manufacturing. The event was the brainchild of Tara Dunn, SMTA director of training and education. It included a compelling and collaborative presentation by David Haboud of Altium, John Johnson of American Standards Circuits, and Chrys Shea of Shea Engineering, who had spent the past several weeks creating and building an appropriate SMT test board vehicle for UHDI, something that was passed around for all conference goers to see and touch.
PCBflow Helps Designers Choose Best Manufacturer for the Job
03/28/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineI recently spoke with a few technologists who have first-hand experience with PCBflow: Susan Kayesar, technical product manager with Siemens; Evgeny Makhline, CTO of Nistec, a CEM based in Israel; and Peter Tranitz, senior director of technology solutions and leader of the IPC Design Initiative. They explain how PCBflow functions, from the designer’s and manufacturer’s viewpoint, and how this database helps break down the wall between these stakeholders.
Elementary, Mr. Watson: Ensuring Design Integrity
03/28/2024 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonBack in February, many of us watched the "Big Game." It reminded me of the saying, “It's not how you start that is important, but rather how you finish." It is perfectly okay when you are talking about sports, you get off to a bad first half and need to recover in the second half. However, when it comes to PCB design, this is not a good practice. If things start badly, they usually don't recover. They continue down that same path, costing more money and losing design time.
