Prague PEDC: Call for Abstracts Deadline July 31
July 16, 2025 | Pan-European Electronics Design Conference (PEDC)Estimated reading time: 1 minute
The second Pan-European Electronics Design Conference (PEDC) will take place Jan. 21-22, 2026, in Prague, Czech Republic. The call for abstracts deadline is July 31.
Organized jointly by the German Electronics Design and Manufacturing Association (FED) and the Global Electronics Association (formerly IPC), PEDC serves as a European platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and innovation in electronics design and development.
The inaugural PEDC event was held in Vienna, Austria, in January, and the show is now set to become an annual European event. The conference features two days of lectures, keynote speeches, and networking opportunities. All PEDC presentations are peer-reviewed and non-promotional, much like the technical content at APEX EXPO in the U.S.
“The first PEDC conference in January was a resounding success, with participants from 15 European countries and five countries around the world enjoying the high-quality presentations, which were free from commercialism,” said Peter Tranitz, senior director of technology solutions for Global Electronics Association. “Our panel of technical experts will ensure that the second PEDC conference maintains this high standard. We look forward to continuing this exceptional networking event for the pan-European electronics design community and beyond.”
A presentation at the PEDC is a great way to reach your European customers. The PEDC is aimed at professionals from industry, research, and development in the field of electronics design. Show organizers Global Electronics Association and FED represent more than 3,700 companies in the electronics industry. Companies and institutions are invited to submit abstracts for technical and scientific presentations on the following topics:
- Silicon to Systems
- Design for Excellence (DfX)
- Design Software and Tools
- Sustainable Designs and Product Life Cycle
A presentation at the PEDC offers companies the opportunity to position themselves as innovation leaders and expand their network within the European electronics community. Submit your abstract today and join your colleagues in Prague next January.
Location: NH Prague City Hotel
Dates: Jan. 21-22, 2026.
Submission deadline: July 31, 2025
