About

For three decades, Pan Pac has brought together leaders, researchers, and innovators in the electronics industry to explore the technologies and strategies shaping the field's future. The symposium is deliberately held in Hawaii, whose isolation from day-to-day distractions is intended to support face-to-face interaction among attendees. Speakers are accepted through a call for abstracts that closed November 15, 2026; SMTA does not reimburse speaker travel, and accepted presenters register at a discounted speaker rate. SMTA's sponsorship prospectus offers a flagship Corporate Package priced at $3,500, bundling a complimentary conference registration, a full-page event guide ad, and access to the technical proceedings.

Pan Pac 2027 runs January 25–28, 2027.

Pan Pac 2027 is held at the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa, 2605 Kaanapali Parkway, Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii.

SMTA sponsorship materials value one full conference registration at $1,000. The negotiated hotel group rate at the Sheraton Maui Resort is $379 per night plus tax, with a booking deadline of January 5, 2027. Companies looking to sponsor pay between $600 for a lanyard placement and $3,500 for the flagship Corporate package.

Organizer materials describe six attendee groups: executive leadership, advanced specialists, manufacturing experts, academic researchers, defense and government professionals, and graduate students. The event is structured as an intimate, executive-level setting to support organic networking among these groups.

The 2026 program drew corporate presenters from companies including IBM Corporation, Aqueous Technologies, ZESTRON Corporation, and Cisco Systems. Academic participation spanned institutions such as Auburn University, Harvard Medical School, TU Delft, and Chosun University, including an international session organized with the Korea Packaging Integration Association.

It is most useful for electronics packaging and reliability engineers and researchers who want to hear early-stage work, since the program has 9 core tracks, prior speakers came from IBM, Cisco and Auburn University, and the Maui setting is meant to keep networking face to face. Buyers and those on tight budgets would get less, since registration is $1,000, the group hotel rate is $379 per night, and travel to Maui is required with no virtual presenting.

Attendees at electronics technical symposia in a Hawaii resort usually wear resort casual, such as aloha shirts or polos and slacks for sessions, with lighter clothing for evening receptions.
