UP Media Group Inc. (Atlanta, GA) announced the final conference program and event schedule for PCB Design Conference East 2004—the premier East Coast conference and exhibition for printed circuit board engineering, design and manufacture professionals.

The ninth annual PCB East 2004 will be held at a new venue, the Radisson Hotel Manchester, in Manchester, NH, a location that's central to the New England technology corridor and a short distance from Canada's "Silicon Valley North."

PCB East 2004 features a theme that is extremely relevant and on target for today's PCB designers, engineers and managers: "Education For Your Most Pressing PCB Design Challenges, Including Lead-Free, Embedded Components, High Speed and PCB Design Fundamentals." In fact, more than a third of this year's 36 Professional Development and Technical Conference courses focus on the challenges posed by lead-free printed circuit board design/manufacture/assembly, embedded components and high-speed design.

Additionally, over 80% of this year's courses are new to PCB East, with the rest returning due to popular demand.

"When conference attendees participate in classroom discussions, show floor presentations, networking events and vendor-sponsored activities, they learn about PCB design/manufacture technologies and techniques that they can take back to their employer and share with their coworkers," said UPMG President Pete Waddell. "Participating in a terrific technical conference like PCB East is a win-win situation for everyone involved—our attendees, their companies, and our exhibitors."

PCB East 2004 features a five-day conference program of targeted Professional Development and Technical Conference courses, plus a keynote address, a variety of free special networking events, and a terrific two-day exhibition of the industry's hottest products and services. The three-day technical conference (Oct. 5 - 7) includes 26 short courses—19 of them new to PCB Design Conference East.

Also offered: 10 Professional Development Certificate Program courses, including seven full-day tutorials and three two-day Design Excellence Curriculum courses for which attendees will receive certificates of completion.

The two-day exhibition begins Oct. 5 at 10 a.m.

Registration for the two-day exhibition and most special events is free.
