The IPC CEMAC (China Electronics Manufacturing Annual Conference), an exclusive event for IPC members, is dedicated to advancing the development and collaboration of the electronics industry.
IPC Masters will include Hand Soldering Competition (HSC), Cable and Wire Harness Assembly Competition (CWAC), BGA/BTC (Ball Grid Array/Bottom Termination Components) Rework Competition and IPC Standard Knowledge Competition.
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND -- John Watson explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing printed circuit board (PCB) design in this must-attend webinar, "The AI Advantage in PCB Design: Tools and Trends." This session will provide a deep dive into the transformative impact of AI on the PCB design process, helping engineers and designers tackle challenges with greater efficiency and innovation.
The webinar begins with an introduction to AI's fundamental role in modern PCB design. Participants will learn how AI enhances traditional workflows, offering capabilities beyond human limitations. From circuit optimization to error reduction, AI enables faster, smarter, and more precise design outcomes.
Through real-world examples, the session will highlight how AI is being used to solve common PCB design challenges, such as managing complex routing patterns, improving thermal performance, and reducing the time spent on iterative design revisions. These case studies will show how companies have integrated AI to address bottlenecks, reduce costs, and accelerate product development timelines.
Additionally, this webinar will explore the potential hurdles of adopting AI technologies in PCB design. Topics will include data preparation, the need for effective collaboration between engineers and AI systems, and the importance of validating AI-driven recommendations. Attendees will also get a glimpse into the future of AI in PCB design, including its role in fully autonomous design systems and its integration with next-generation technologies like augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR).
What Participants Will Learn
1. How AI is transforming the design process in general.
2. The benefits of using AI are in improving efficiency and accuracy.
3. Key features and capabilities of AI-powered tools.
4. Real-world examples of AI solving design challenges.
5. Common challenges when adopting AI technologies.
6. Exciting future possibilities for AI in design and engineering.
IPC Design Day France 2025, IPC Designers Council France, proposed event taking place on April 3-4, 2025 at Hotel Pullman Aeroport Toulouse, France
The IPC WorksAsia is a technical seminar that IPC focuses on professional fields. It aims to strengthen member interaction and cooperation, promote resource sharing, and help electronics manufacturing enterprises stand out in the competition.
An exclusive annual event in Korea, aims to promote Korean electronics industry development and global cooperation.
In recent years, economic security has become an extremely important theme in the electronics industries worldwide, and it's no exception for Japanese companies. As part of IPC's efforts to strengthen its activities in Japan, we have decided to hold quarterly roundtable discussions with Japanese companies to deepen the discussion on economic security in cooperation with Bower Group Asia (BGA). This is the first meeting, and we will have a guest from well-versed ex Diet members.
With the cooperation of Japan Unix Co., Ltd., guests from Japanese companies will give presentations focused on the use of IPC standards and its activities. This time, the chair (from Tokai Rika Co., Ltd.) and vice-chair (from Toyota Motor Corporation) of a Japan regional task group are invited to give a talk. This webinar will be provided in Japanese only, mainly with the aim of increasing the number of IPC users in Japan.
This competition is for choosing the Japanese champion to dispatch the world final 2025 with the cooperation of Japan Unix Co., Ltd. Preliminary details (mid-July & August) will be announced around June in their website. And then, only who pass the preliminary is invited to the final at NEPCON NAGOYA (Oct. 29 - 31).
This annual seminar is held mainly for IPC members, regional TG participants and its standards users in Japan with the collaboration of IPC Asia. In the morning of the day, we have guest speakers from IPC global such as TG chair and liaison to update on IPC standards and activities for them. Following this, in the afternoon, Japan regional task group meeting(s) will be held.
