A Show Within a Show
The specials on the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO 2023 show’s menu are mouthwatering for PCB designers. With more content than ever targeted at your demographic, it’s becoming a show within a show. Order up!
PCB designers will find more design curriculum than ever at this show being held next month for the last time in the foreseeable future in San Diego, Calif. Between the Professional Development Courses and Technical Conference, we counted 15 different classes that focus on PCB design or design-related topics.
There’s certainly a thirst for knowledge among PCB designers. Every year, more of the “silverback” senior designers retire to the pickleball courts (seriously, pickleball?), taking with them decades of design knowledge and experience. All of which means that there’s a premium on solid PCB design education.
So, for this month's magazine, we asked IPC’s show staff and Professional Development instructors to discuss their design content, as well as some of the reasons why PCB designers should consider adding this show to their continuing education schedule.

Facing the Future: American Manufacturing on the Rise
09/18/2023 | Aidan Salvi -- Column: Facing the FutureI have been in and around circuit boards most of my life. I started 20 years ago in my family’s PCB shop, leaving after a couple of years to start my own software company. About a year ago, I returned to the family business, and the first thing I noticed was that nothing had really changed. We were doing the same things in the same way as the day I left. After talking to several experts in the industry, I realized it was worse than that: The manufacturing of PCBs had not changed in 70 years.
