36 I-CONNECT007 MAGAZINE I FEBRUARY 2026 Technology Pavilion Debuts at APEX EXPO 2026 Many of the technologies shaping the future of electronics manufacturing, particularly in areas such as 3D integration, digital manufacturing, advanced design workflows and automated metrol- ogy, are moving faster than traditional publication and standards cycles. "The APEX EXPO 2026 Technology Pavilion will bring technology innovators such as these to the forefront, through a dedicated space where emerg- ing tools, approaches, and early-stage break- throughs can be shared with attendees," said Chris Jorgensen, senior director, next-generation stan- dards, Global Electronics Association. This is more than just a product showcase, he said. "The Pavilion is there to spark insight, chal- lenge assumptions, and help attendees connect emerging capabilities to real-world manufacturing and design challenges they face today." The Pavilion will be the site for the Design Town Hall, which recognizes progress in design stan- dards, education, events, and new solutions, as well as a panel discussion with the IPC Design Leader- ship Council. "You can expect to come away from the Technol- ogy Pavilion with a clearer understanding of where advanced PCB and PCBA technologies are head- ing," Jorgensen says, "how digital manufacturing, leading-edge materials sciences and multiphysics simulation are enabling more complex designs, and how connected design workflows are reducing risk across the product lifecycle."
