October 8, 2020 | UP Media GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
In response to customer demand, PCB East returns to Boston for 2021 for the first time since 2009.
The three-day technical conference takes place May 10-12, 2021, in Marlborough, MA. The event includes a one-day exhibition on May 11.
“PCB East is a much-needed opportunity for the design community to get together and check out the latest technology,” said Mike Buetow, editor in chief, PCD&F/CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY and conference director, PCB East. “The show is expected to include a range of suppliers from the ECAD, PCB design service, fabrication and assembly supply chain. As Covid-19 has slowed national travel, locally-focused events like PCB East have become vital networking and selling opportunities.”
