Focus on PCB 2027

About Focus on PCB

Focus on PCB is pcb, pcba and ems exhibition focused on printed-circuit-board design, fabrication, materials, assembly, PCBA services, electronics manufacturing and practical production skills. The 2027 edition runs from 21-22 April 2027 at Vicenza Exhibition Center, Hall 7 in Vicenza, Italy. Its pcb design and materials programme combines specialist knowledge with opportunities to compare technologies, methods and suppliers. This Focus on PCB edition is not presented as a space-only meeting, so teams should select the sessions and exhibitors that match a defined need.

The reason for including it in Arc’s space-engineering calendar is specific: supplier qualification, high-reliability board manufacture, assembly process control, workmanship, traceability and electronics manufacturing services. Those pcb design and materials capabilities often sit below mission-level requirements but materially affect whether flight hardware can be designed, produced, verified and supported with defensible evidence. Space teams can therefore use Focus on PCB to investigate technical options, meet relevant specialists and understand adjacent-industry practices without assuming that every part of the programme applies to spacecraft development.

Event history and organiser

Focus on PCB is a specialist European business-to-business meeting for the PCB, PCBA and electronics-manufacturing-services supply chain. The organiser presents the 2027 edition as a technical environment connecting engineers, buyers, researchers and suppliers from design through assembly. NürnbergMesse Italia publishes the current Focus on PCB information and remains the authoritative source for dates, venue, programme and access arrangements. Arc reviewed its pcb design and materials material on 31 August 2026 and separated confirmed edition facts from broader descriptions of the recurring event. Previous-edition information explains the Focus on PCB series and typical format, but it should not be used to infer an unannounced speaker, exhibitor, deadline or activity for 2027. This Focus on PCB guide links directly to the official sources and records its review date so readers can identify what may have changed before they register or travel. Readers should recheck details whenever the organiser publishes a later update.

Topics and themes

The official pcb design and materials scope is broader than space, but the following subjects have a direct connection to spacecraft engineering. Readers should use the live Focus on PCB programme to confirm the depth and timing of each subject.

• PCB design and materials: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.
• Board fabrication: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.
• Assembly and soldering: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.
• PCBA and EMS services: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.
• Manufacturing quality and skills: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.

Who should attend?

Focus on PCB is most relevant to Space electronics manufacturers, PCB and PCBA engineers, Supplier-quality teams, Hardware procurement specialists, Manufacturing and workmanship leads when they have a defined technical or assurance question to investigate. Programme managers and systems engineers may benefit when a pcb design and materials decision crosses requirements, design, manufacture, verification and supplier evidence. It is less useful for general space networking because it is pcb, pcba and ems exhibition. Before attending Focus on PCB, teams should review the programme and exhibitor information, identify relevant spacecraft work packages, and arrange focused conversations around qualification constraints, evidence needs, interfaces and lifecycle risk. Colleagues should agree Focus on PCB outcomes before making travel or registration commitments.

Practical information

Focus on PCB is listed for 21-22 April 2027 at Vicenza Exhibition Center, Hall 7, Vicenza. Check the official pcb design and materials event page immediately before booking for registration, opening times, programme changes and travel guidance. Arc is not the organiser and cannot confirm places. Space teams should shortlist Focus on PCB sessions or suppliers in advance and avoid treating exhibition claims as proof that a product is flight qualified.
