2017 HKPCA & IPC Show Offers Learning, Networking Opportunities

The 2017 International Printed Circuit & APEX South China Fair (2017 HKPCA & IPC Show) will offer an abundance of learning and networking opportunities in its educational and social programs. As in past years, a highlight will be the International Technical Conference, featuring renowned expert speakers. This year’s show will also include the IPC China PCB Design Seminar and the challenging IPC China PCB Design Competition. The show will run from 6 to 8 December 2017 in Halls 1, 2 & 4 of the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center, China.

The HKPCA & IPC Show is known as one of the region’s leading showcases for every segment of the PCB industry, and again sets a new record this year with close to 550 confirmed exhibitors taking up more than 2,600 booths across more than 52,500 square meters of exhibition space. Equally important is the show’s wide selection of concurrent events, which provide abundant educational and networking opportunities, reflecting this year’s theme of “Global Wisdom. Local Presence,” meaning that the show helps to spread the collective wisdom of the worldwide industry for application to local actions. 

The PCB lies at the heart of every modern electronic device. To deliver its expected performance, design of the PCB requires consideration of many inter-related aspects such as electrical, thermal, structural, manufacturability, cost, cycle and more, all competing and influencing each other. Failure to consider any one of these adequately will lead to a poor product. The IPC PCB Designers Council China Branch aims to raise the standard of the PCB design industry through the sharing of relevant knowledge and skills. In this seminar, they offer guidance to designers on how to improve their work.The IPC PCB Designers Council China Branch also stages the IPC China PCB Design Competition, which has been held four times since 2012. This event – the only professional PCB design contest – will again form part of the HKPCA and IPC Show, enabling PCB designers to demonstrate their expertise and helping to promote the development of the PCB design industry in China.
