SMYRNA, GA -- More than 2,000 PCB
designers, fabricators and assemblers registered for Virtual PCB (
www.virtual-pcb.com), the industry's only
virtual trade show and conference, which took place this week.
The live
event was held Feb. 24-25, and the show will remain open in an archive
mode for two months.
Exhibitors include several leading suppliers of
placement, soldering and test equipment, materials, software, and bare boards.
The technical conference includes Webinars on design, simulation, soldering,
lead-free assembly, and environmental issues from well-known industry experts.
New this year were technical chats featuring experts on subjects ranging
from CAD and MCAD software to laminates, and from assembly process defect
solutions to the potential of alternative energy platforms for SMT
manufacturers.
“We found the technical conference to be a huge draw, with
some Webinars attracting several hundred attendees, which simple logistics would
prevent at the industry’s ‘live’ events,” said Mike Buetow, editor in chief of
Circuits Assembly, which cosponsored Virtual PCB.
A fully
interactive, Web-based event, Virtual PCB incorporates all the critical features
of a live event while allowing PCB design, fabrication and assembly equipment
and materials buyers and sellers to interact online.
