PCB West is held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California.
As of 2025, the four-day technical conference registration fee was $1,595, plus travel, hotel and meal costs; PCB West has not yet published 2026 pricing.
PCB West draws designers, engineers, fabricators and assemblers from across the electronics supply chain, from high-reliability military and aerospace work to IoT and wearables. Attendee roles documented by the organizer include design engineers, fabrication executives, and marketing, sales and business-development professionals at PCB suppliers.
Whether PCB West is worth attending depends on how central printed circuit board design, fabrication or assembly is to your role. It suits engineers, fabricators and suppliers looking for deep, hands-on training and networking within the PCB industry rather than a broad, general-electronics show.
Business casual is standard at PCB West, consistent with most engineering and manufacturing trade conferences. The organizer does not publish a specific dress code, so comfortable clothing suitable for a convention center and exhibit floor is a safe choice.
