Thailand Electronics Circuit Asia 2024 Kicks Off
July 24, 2024 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute

After a long and grueling experience through last week’s airline IT meltdowns, I finally touched down in Bangkok, where I’m here for the inaugural Thailand Electronics Circuit Asia (THECA) show.
The expo and technical conference kicked off Wednesday at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Center, featuring an expo and a technical conference. The show is hosted by the Thailand Printed Circuit Association, founded in 2019 by Thai companies seeking to advocate for and educate the Thai electronics manufacturing sector.
The agenda for the technical conference on opening day includes presentations from MacDermid Alpha Electronic Solutions, Dr. Hayao Nakahara, ITEQ Corporation, and Kinwong Electronic Technology, Ltd. With approximately 116 exhibitors, the expo seems poised for a successful launch.
The show managers hoped to attract 250 exhibitors and 4,000 visitors seeking to stay updated on global electronic trends in the ASEAN market, and benefit from the knowledge and experience of industry leaders.
I’ll be on the show floor, meeting with exhibitors and guests, attending technical conference presentations, and reporting on what I find.
For more details on THCPA and the THECA show, read our recent interview with Swaek Prakitritanon, THPCA’s director and general secretary, and president of Auromex Do. Ltd. He was very optimistic about what the show will offer, as well as the burgeoning electronics industry in Thailand. This is sure to be a very interesting and informative experience as we explore new avenues in Southeast Asia.
Check out our RealTime with... THECA site for interviews and photos from the show floor.

SEMICON West: The Path to a $1 Trillion Future
10/14/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West moved its 2025 show to Phoenix, which is significant because it highlights the importance of Arizona as a semiconductor and tech hub. Though the show will be back in San Francisco in 2026, the overwhelmingly warm welcome SEMI received from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and ASU President Michael Crowe—who has been responsible for ASU repeatedly achieving the U.S. News and World Reports most innovative university ranking—was remarked upon repeatedly. All indications are that SEMICON West may well be back in Phoenix after that 2026 season.
