Why do electronics fail EMC testing, usually radiated emissions, when they don't have any antennas on board--or at least no antennas for below 500 MHz?

This interactive, virtual event will explain the main ways that cables and boards can act like antennas even though they're not designed to radiate. We'll discuss the two main radiating mechanisms and how they manifest in electronics hardware. Cables and split planes will get the most attention. We'll also include a live hardware demo that shows how these interactions play out in real life.

Scope 3 Category 1 emissions from purchased goods and services often represent the largest share of emissions in the electronics industry, yet they remain among the most complex to measure and manage.
In this webinar, the Global Electronics Association and the Responsible Business Alliance will introduce new industry guidance designed to help companies strengthen Scope 3 Category 1 accounting and accelerate supplier engagement and decarbonization efforts.

Building on the themes from my recent Community Magazine article, “Unlocking Workforce Potential: Beyond Federal Dollars,” this webinar will unpack how employers across the U.S. can access a range of underutilized funding opportunities to support training and apprenticeship programs. We’ll explore how national, state, and private resources can be braided to offset costs, expand training capacity, and build sustainable talent pipelines.

While we’ll highlight recent examples—like the newly awarded Employment Training Panel (ETP) contract that supports California employers—our focus will be national, offering employers a practical roadmap for identifying, combining, and leveraging diverse funding sources to maximize workforce development impact.

This is a must‑attend online event for Training Managers, Learning & Development Directors, HR Managers, Workforce Development Coordinators, Grants Managers, and Administrators.

This webinar explains how to use visual inspection alongside a plug-in thermal camera to detect circuit board faults. By spotting heat anomalies, engineers can quickly locate overheating components, shorts, or other issues that may not be visible — streamlining diagnostics and improving repair accuracy.

This webinar, co-hosted by the Global Electronics Association and Anthesis Group, will offer an update on the current state-of-play on emerging circularity policies for electronics to interested stakeholders, from an advocacy, compliance, and standards development perspective.

Join us for a practical, business-first approach to supply chain security. This webinar explores how involving non-IT stakeholders early in the process leads to smarter investments, fewer missteps, and clearer requirements for IT and security teams.

Wire bonding remains the dominant chip-interconnection method—and it's not going anywhere soon. This webinar offers a practical overview of modern wire bonding processes, metrology challenges, and emerging materials. Learn about pitch shrinkage demands, direct bonding to Cu on ULK substrates, and innovations like silver and gold-coated palladium copper wires. Explore key bonding techniques including thermosonic, ultrasonic, and thermocompression, plus new options for Cu wire coatings.

Perfect for engineers navigating next-gen packaging and reliability.

Supply Chain Integrity: Protecting Your Business from Counterfeit Electronics - A Non-Technical Guide to Component Authentication

Join SAE G19A subcommittee expert Anthony Bryant for an essential one-hour webinar focused on supply chain integrity and counterfeit electronics prevention. This session is specifically designed for non-technical personnel working in the electronics component supply chain including procurement professionals, supply chain managers, quality assurance staff, and business leaders.

With counterfeit electronics reporting increasing by 25% in 2024 to over 1,055 suspect parts, the threat to supply chain integrity has never been more critical. This webinar will equip attendees with practical knowledge to identify red flags, understand current trends, and implement effective counterfeit mitigation strategies that protect both business operations and end-user safety.

Key Learning Outcomes:
• Understand current counterfeit electronics trends and their business impact
• Learn visual inspection techniques requiring no technical background
• Identify documentation red flags and fraudulent paperwork
• Recognize supplier risk indicators and sourcing vulnerabilities
• Implement practical counterfeit avoidance strategies
• Understand regulatory compliance requirements and industry standards

Target Audience: Procurement professionals, supply chain managers, quality assurance personnel, business leaders, and anyone involved in electronics component sourcing and management.

The world economy is entering a new chapter marked by uneven growth, persistent inflationary pressures, and shifting trade dynamics. The United States shows resilience, Europe continues to face stagnation risks, and Asia’s mix of advanced and emerging markets is driving both opportunity and volatility.

The Global Electronics Association invites you to a timely and informative webinar on the latest U.S. trade and tariff developments and their implications for the electronics industry.
