August 16, 2018 | ZukenEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Zuken USA is now accepting abstracts for Zuken Innovation World (ZIW) 2019, to be held on April 15-17 in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The event includes a two-day technical conference and one-day exhibition to be held at the Hilton Head Marriott Resort & Spa.
Abstracts are now being accepted for 45-minute educational presentations. The technical program consists of four tracks focused on the following areas:
- Board design, including SI/PI/EMC, ECAD/MCAD co-design and IC packaging
- Electrical design including wire harness, panel and fluid design
- Design data and library management, including supply chain and PLM integration
- Innovative technologies and design methodologies, including Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
Suggested presentation topics include design disciplines such as PCB, IC packaging, wire harness, control panel and design data management. Industry trends, process innovation and new design methodologies are also topics of interest. Presentations must be noncommercial in nature and should focus on technology, techniques or methodology. Case studies, how-to information and usage tips are favored and individual or team presentations are welcome.
Abstracts of 300 words, along with speaker biographies, should be submitted to Zuken by November 2, 2018. For additional details and deadline information, visit the ZIW Speakers’ Corner.
Education and Innovation
ZIW annually offers more than 40 technical sessions, including Zuken University classes showcasing how-to and best practices for the current and upcoming product releases. Zuken’s Expert Bar provides one-on-one access to Zuken’s technical team, while the Technology Showcase puts our partners’ innovative solutions front and center in a relaxed, interactive environment that encourages networking.

Connect the Dots: Involving Manufacturers Earlier Prevents Downstream Issues
04/16/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIf you have read any of my earlier columns, you know I am passionate about helping designers design for the reality of manufacturing. Designing for manufacturability (DFM) is a team sport. DFM is a design process that looks forward to the manufacturing process and integrates with it so that manufacturing requirements and capabilities can be accurately reflected in the design work.
Global PCB Connections: The Next Wave of HDI PCBs– How Design Engineers Can Stay Ahead
04/17/2025 | Jerome Larez -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsHigh density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards have come a long way from their origins as a niche technology for miniaturized applications. Today, HDI PCBs are at the forefront of innovation, driven by an insatiable demand for faster, smaller, and more powerful electronic devices. As consumer electronics, 5G infrastructure, and AI-driven systems advance, design engineers must stay ahead of the curve to ensure their PCB designs meet evolving industry demands.
