Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.
Looking Forward to APEX EXPO 2026

EIPC Summer Conference 2025: PCB Innovation in Edinburgh
April 18, 2025 | EIPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
EIPC have very wisely selected the wonderful city of Edinburgh, Scotland as the venue for their Summer Conference on June 3-4. Whilst delegates will be distilling the proven information imparted by the speakers in the day, in the evening they will be free spirits at the Conference Dinner.
Day 1 opens with a look at Business Outlook and Market Forecasts, moving on to Sustainability and Recycling, Materials for Tomorrows Technologies, and Manufacturing in a Circular Economy Industry.
Day 2 covers Advanced HDI to Medical and Chiplet Substrates and Thermal Management Solutions and Training on new Surface Finish processes.
As usual, there will be a truly international team of speakers, and as usual the unique atmosphere of an EIPC Conference will be based upon the convocation of convivial compatriots. Join them, there is everything to gain. Including the chance of knowing what a good dram tastes like.

SMTA Ultra HDI Symposium, Day 1: AI at the Core or Out of the Game
04/13/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It was a beautiful 81°F morning in Arizona last Wednesday as I headed to the third annual SMTA Ultra HDI Symposium, focused on AI and ultra high density interconnect technology. Strategically held as part of Arizona’s Tech Week, this year’s conference took place in Avondale in Phoenix's West Valley. The event moved from the cozy offices of the Peoria Sports Complex (which paid homage to baseball’s spring training world) to the larger Avondale Conference Center, highlighting the importance of this area for electronics manufacturing investment.

Marcy’s Musings: Looking Forward—APEX EXPO 2026 (and AI Design Tools Too)
02/18/2026 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsThis month, I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, from exhibitors and special events on the show floor to new insights from the technical conference, details on keynotes, and advancements in critical industry standards. The show also has an international flavor, so we’ve included links to articles from Mexico, East Asia, and India. For PCB designers, we focused on AI in design tools, which turns out to be much more than the dreaded auto-router. We've got articles from Zuken, Siemens, and AllSpice.io.
Changing the Electronics Systems Conversation
02/16/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineRebranding as the Global Electronics Association is not the only major change happening at APEX EXPO this year. There’s also a shift in the scope of the technical program as heterogenous integration and other advanced packaging methodologies come into the mainstream at both the component and system levels. We spoke with Matt Kelly, CTO and conference general chair, Devan Iyer, chief strategist for advanced electronic packaging, and Stan Rak and Udo Welzel, now in their fourth year as chairs of the Technical Program Committee, about what distinguishes the conference this year.
