PEACHTREE CITY, GA – The discounted price for the PCB West 2026 technical conference ends August 21, conference organizers said today. From August 22 through September 29, registrants will pay the advanced conference price, which is $100 more than the “early bird” rate.

The technical program for PCB West 2026 features more than 50 classes and over 120 hours of in-depth electronics engineering training on circuit board design and assembly. The conference features classes for every level of experience, from novice to expert.

Rick Hartley, Karen Burnham, Susy Webb, Stephen Chavez, and Tomas Chester are among the headliners of this year’s conference. It will be held September 29 to October 2 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.

The scope of classes ranges from the basics of design engineering, libraries and circuit grounding to more advanced fare such as power distribution, EMC, stackups, and thermal management.

More than 25 of the presentations are new to the conference, including curriculum for advanced dielectrics for thermal PCBs, AI, and time budgets for new projects.

“Act now to get the best rates for this industry-leading conference,,” said Mike Buetow, president, PCEA. “There is simply no other place to gain access to the leading experts in PCB design and engineering.”

PCB West will be held September 29 - October 2, 2026, at the Santa Clara (CA) Convention Center. The event includes a one-day exhibition on September 30, which will include a free lunch on the exhibit floor.

PRINTED CIRCUIT DESIGN & FAB and CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY magazines are media partners for the event.
