ATLANTA – UP Media Group, parent company of Circuits Assembly, announced today that several leading industry suppliers have signed on to exhibit at Virtual PCB, the industry’s first virtual trade show and conference for the PCB design, fabrication and assembly markets, Feb. 12-13.

Exhibiting companies to date include Agilent Technologies, BTU International, Dage Precision Industries Inc., DEK, and EFD.

Exhibitors are excited about the new event’s potential to access hard-to-reach attendees. “DEK sees Virtual PCB as a great new way to expand our market reach to the thousands of industry buyers who currently don’t attend trade shows,” explained Karen Moore-Watts, global marcom director. “We are excited to be one of the first companies to be part of this groundbreaking event.”

According to UP Media Group president Pete Waddell, “These ‘early adopters’ represent visionary companies who understand how interactive, Web-based events can extend their market reach, as well as complement and enhance the experience of face-to-face events.  We look forward to working with these leading-edge suppliers to ensure a successful event.”

A fully interactive, Web-based event, Virtual PCB (www.virtual-pcb.com) incorporates the critical features of a live event, while allowing PCB design, fabrication and assembly equipment and materials buyers and sellers to interact online. Virtual PCB is supported by a proven software platform and will be accessible on-demand for three months following the two-day live event.
