Introducing the IPC APEX EXPO 2026 Design Village and Technology Pavilion
Hosted by Global Electronics Association Technology Solutions
The next generation of electronics contains chip-level and system-level packaging, which has an ever-growing technological demand. Leveraging the increasing complexity of design tasks requires collaboration across traditional electronic design entities. Chip-package-board-system co-design and co-optimization in the multi-physics domain is now the new standard, as demonstrated by the latest innovations in EDA and simulation software.
Experience a dynamic new exposition floor destination where next-generation advanced electronic packaging and system co-design come to life, exploring advanced EDA tools, multiphysics simulation, and digital manufacturing technologies driving breakthroughs in ultra-HDI, board routing, and advanced PCBAs.
Join the Design and Digital Revolution
It all starts with design, and at APEX EXPO 2026, we are putting design at the forefront with the introduction of the Design Village on the show floor. The Design Village will be a dedicated area on the exposition floor to showcase companies leading the way in providing the full spectrum of next-generation design and production solutions for industry.
Key themes of the Design Village include:
- Design & Simulation
- Digital Manufacturing
- Innovative Supply Chain Management
- AI-Driven Sustainability Solutions
At the center of the Design Village will be the all-new Technology Pavilion, a high-visibility area that will highlight the innovators driving the end-to-end electronics design and manufacturing ecosystem through an inspiring daily lineup of technical presentations, panel discussions and Technology Pavilion vendor demonstrations.
