IPC Builds-Standards Development Committee Meetings
The standards powering global electronics start here.
IPC Builds brings together the global electronics community for one week of standards development that shapes how the entire industry designs, builds, and tests, laying the groundwork for the next generation of electronics standards. September 19–24 in Paris. Register now.
WHAT IS IPC BUILDS?
Every standard your company works to, from IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, IPC-6012, IPC-A-600 to IPC/WHMA-A-620 and dozens more, are written, refined, and approved by working groups of industry professionals from across the global supply chain who show up, raise their hands, and make their expertise count.
That's IPC Builds. It's a week-long series of standards development meetings where the global electronics community comes together to do the actual work: updating existing standards to meet current trends, resolving emerging technical challenges, forecasting where the industry is heading, and building the next-generation frameworks that will define quality and reliability for the global supply chain.
The standards that will govern tomorrow's technologies are being developed right now, by people who show up. This year, they will be at IPC Builds in Paris, France, September 19-24, 2026.
WHY YOUR PRESENCE MATTERS
IPC standards don't write themselves. They reflect the real-world knowledge, hard-won expertise, and practical foresight from you and other professionals who shape them.
When you attend IPC Builds, your voice shapes the language of the standard. Your expertise influences the criteria. Your participation helps the industry anticipate what's coming and not just react to what's already here.
Whether you're attending your first committee meeting or you've been a task group chair for years, IPC Builds is where your contribution goes directly into the documents the entire industry trusts.
