PCB West 2018 Draws a Crowd of Designers and Technologists
September 19, 2018 | Barry Matties, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Of course, Frances Stewart, a long-time leader at UPMG, took great care of her guests and customers.
Frances was accessible to her guests throughout the event, answering questions, working on details and making announcements. She was everywhere, and it’s easy to see that she is dedicated to making this event the best that it can be.
One thing that I really like about PCB West is the fact the exhibition is only one day. From 10:30 am until the evening hours, the exhibit floor tends to stay active. This year, the floor seemed particularly busy.
I heard a lot of positive feedback from exhibitors and attendees alike; everyone was very pleased with the turnout and the show overall.
During the lunch hour, a boxed lunch is served, which allows attendees to stay on the floor and maximize their time visiting the 100-plus exhibitors. To further assist attendees in getting the most out of the event, UPMG offered a PCB West 2018 mobile app, a handy planning tool.
If you haven’t had the chance to participate in this event, I suggest you make a point to attend PCB West 2019. Whether you come for a keynote session, a class, the exhibits or just to catch up with old friends, it will be well worth your time.
