Technica Announces Tech Day Event Dates and Agenda
April 13, 2026 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Technica USA announced today the return of its highly anticipated Tech Day events, marking the revival of a long‑standing customer engagement series. Personal invitations have been issued to customers detailing event dates, participating partners, and the technical agenda.
The 2026 Tech Day series will focus on Big BGA, a critical and timely topic driven by the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and its increasing influence on advanced electronics manufacturing.
The event will be held on May 13 and 14, 2026, providing attendees with flexible options to participate. Each day will feature the same agenda, beginning with a morning technical session followed by an afternoon of live demonstrations aligned with the morning presentations.
Participating companies include ASMPT, ESSEMTEC, PARMI, and Creative Electron, each bringing specialized expertise to address the challenges associated with large BGA placement, inspection, and handling. The foundation of the demonstrations will be the ASMPT SX platform with large BGA placement capability, a solution designed to meet the demands of high‑value AI-driven devices.
“Technica is excited to bring back Tech Day for our customers,” said Jason Perry, President of Technica USA. “These events were a cornerstone of how we connected with our customers in the past. While the disruption of recent years paused that engagement, we are now fully focused on delivering meaningful, technical value through in‑person collaboration. Addressing Big BGA challenges is especially important for our customers as AI continues to reshape electronics manufacturing.”
In addition to ASMPT’s large BGA placement solutions, Essemtec will demonstrate reballing, and other capabilities for sensitive BGAs and electronic components, while PARMI and Creative Electron will highlight the role their inspection and X‑ray technologies play in ensuring manufacturing quality and reliability.
Several additional Technica supply partners, including Inovaxe, DCT, REECO, and Electro Design, will also be present to engage with customers and discuss new and ongoing applications.
Technica’s Tech Day events are designed to provide customers with practical insights, hands on demonstrations, and direct access to industry experts, reinforcing Technica’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions and trusted partnerships across the electronics manufacturing industry.
