February 13, 2026 | Michelle Te, I-Connect007

This 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.
