Technology Pavilion Debuts at APEX EXPO 2026

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Many of the technologies shaping the future of electronics manufacturing, particularly in areas such as 3D integration, digital manufacturing, advanced design workflows and automated metrology, are moving faster than traditional publication and standards cycles.

“The APEX EXPO 2026 Technology Pavilion will bring technology innovators such as these to the forefront, through a dedicated space where emerging tools, approaches, and early-stage breakthroughs can be shared with attendees,” said Chris Jorgensen, senior director, next-generation standards, Global Electronics Association.

This is more than just a product showcase, he said. “The Pavilion is there to spark insight, challenge assumptions, and help attendees connect emerging capabilities to real-world manufacturing and design challenges they face today.”

The Pavilion will be the site for the Design Town Hall, which recognizes progress in design standards, education, events, and new solutions as well as a panel discussion with the IPC Design Leadership Council.

“You can expect to come away from the Technology Pavilion with a clearer understanding of where advanced PCB and PCBA technologies are heading,” Jorgensen says, “how digital manufacturing, leading-edge materials sciences and multiphysics simulation are enabling more complex designs, and how connected design workflows are reducing risk across the product lifecycle.”
