The Northwest Electronics Design & Manufacturing Expo (NEDME) returns on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, at Wingspan Event & Conference Center, Hillsboro. The event brings together engineers, product designers, manufacturers, educators, and community partners for a full day of industry connection, learning, and networking. Registration is now open at www.nedme.com.

While NEDME has long been the region’s go-to event for electronics design and PCB manufacturing, it has expanded in recent years to feature a wider range of advanced manufacturing companies—from materials and automation to prototyping and supply-chain partners.
