DesignCon 2026: From Copper to Quantum to Agentic AI
02/26/2026 | Kelly Dack, I-Connect007Greetings from “balmy” Santa Clara, where DesignCon 2026 is officially underway. The conference began in 1995 as Design SuperCon, and now in its 31st year, remains Silicon Valley’s annual summit for signal and power integrity pros. As I walked into the hotel next to the Santa Clara Convention Center, I could sense echoes of the thousands of football fans who packed the area just weeks ago for the Super Bowl. For me, though, DesignCon is the big game, where our industry’s MVPs take the field to show how fast the technology playbook is evolving.

02/13/2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007This week, I’ve taken some extra time to better learn some video and photo editing software programs we use at I-Connect007. You’ll want to check out my LinkedIn video to see how I brought my avatar to life for this week’s must-reads! The items I’m highlighting this week are also about learning something new, from Pete Starkey’s thorough three-day review of the EIPC Winter Conference in Aix-en-Provence, France, to what’s on the horizon for advanced electronics packaging. I also share details about the new Design Village at APEX EXPO 2026, preview a new column from Remtec’s Chandra Gupta, and discuss why marketing isn’t a one-and-done deal.
PCB Design in 2026 and Beyond
02/12/2026 | Filbert Arzola, RaytheonWe asked several experts in PCB design and fabrication about the pressures shaping PCB fabrication today, including speed, density, geopolitics, and relentless technological complexity. The results were valuable insights about where we are, where we’re headed, and importantly, what it will take to get there. Here is Filbert (Fil) Arzola's view of what will be most important and influential for PCB designers going into 2026 and beyond.
