I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
01/16/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007I was in Chicago this week, where the weather went from sunny and 45° F on the day I arrived to snow and ice by the next morning. As a California/Arizona native, let’s just say I love the look of snow much more than I love driving in it. Still, I am grateful to have been part of some genuinely fun teambuilding with my colleagues at the Global Electronics Association. My must-reads for this week are a diverse grouping of articles and columns, ranging from printed electronics and additive manufacturing to a comprehensive overview of the European EMS and PCB markets to marketing wisdom and, finally, a book to help you reach your full potential, personally and professionally.
