Built for You: A New Conference for Circuit Assembly LeadersI
f you lead a circuit assembly operation — or the people who do — we built this event for you.
The inaugural PCEA Assembly Conference takes place April 30–May 1 at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA, held alongside PCB East. It’s the first conference designed exclusively for electronics assembly executives and managers, and we think you’ll find it worth the trip.
Here’s what’s on the agenda for the Management Track on May 1:
- Featured Speaker: Patrick Daria, U.S. PCB Executive Agent
- “What’s Ahead for Defense Electronics Manufacturing”
If your operation touches — or wants to touch — defense contracts, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Daria will share a frank look at where defense electronics manufacturing is headed and what it means for suppliers and assemblers up and down the chain.
Beyond defense, the Management Track addresses the issues keeping assembly leaders up at night:
- • Finding and keeping skilled workers in a tightening labor market
- • Supply chain security and trusted supplier requirements
- • AI in factory and data management
- • Reducing scrap and rework through process optimization
- • Benchmarking your operation against industry standards
April 30 opens with a comprehensive review of circuit assembly — from basic fundamentals to advanced processes — ideal for managers who want to sharpen their technical foundation or bring a rising leader up to speed.
The all-inclusive two-day registration is $495, and it includes admission to the one-day exhibition on Wednesday, April 29.
Spots are limited for this inaugural event. We’d love to have you there.
