SMYRNA, GA – UP Media Group Inc. announced the addition of Sunstone Circuits and Intercept Technology to the list of industry companies that have signed on to exhibit at Virtual PCB, the industry's only virtual trade show and conference for the PCB design, fabrication and assembly markets.

Now in its second year, Virtual PCB takes place Feb. 24-25.

Among the other companies exhibiting to date are Agilent Technologies, Bare Board Group, BTU International, DownStream Technologies, EKRA, Mentor Graphics, Miyachi Unitek and Valor Computerized Systems.

Virtual PCB, which drew 2,400 registrants to its premiere, offers complete, real-time tracking of attendees, product demos and a technical conference supplemented by the Surface Mount Technology Association, and features a host of experts.

"Despite the economy, or perhaps because of it, sophisticated companies are looking for additional high-impact ways of reaching the market. Over-sized, over-priced and over-scaled trade shows are being abandoned in favor of more targeted, economical and higher impact avenues," according to Circuits Assembly Editor-in-Chief Mike Buetow. "Be it Web or trade show marketing, there simply is no better ROI than Virtual PCB."
