KYZEN has again sponsored the Women's Connection Reception at SMTA International. This year it fell on Monday, October 15, 2018 at 5 p.m. in the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, marking the sixth consecutive year that KYZEN has sponsored this event in support of women in science.
This free event has grown over the years to include all female leaders in the electronic manufacturing industry across all professional positions, from engineers, to production, to marketing and administrative. It started very simply as an event where women in electronics could get together, network and share experiences in an informal and enjoyable way.
This year, everyone was invited to get inspired by speakers from Celestica, Rochester Institute of Technology, Ross Consulting, Plexus and more. Panelists shared their unique stories on what motivated them to choose a career in engineering, mentorship and their contributions in advancing careers of women.
All women in the electronics manufacturing industry are invited and encouraged to come and enjoy this special reception. It's a great way to socialize with peers, be inspired by their experiences and expertise navigating this male-dominated industry, and have some fun.

Better Sustainability Policies for Electronics
10/29/2025 | Diana Radovan, Global Electronics AssociationI joined the Global Electronics Association in August 2025 as the director of sustainability policy. Since then, much has happened in terms of geopolitics and in the development and re-envisioning of sustainability policies in the industry. While the European Commission has released several legislative packages to simplify sustainability requirements (“omnibus”), these developments haven’t yet settled and are not in effect. Given the many recent and ongoing public consultations, with often conflicting input from a broad range of stakeholders, final negotiations remain rather polarized among policymakers.
