The event will take place from February 2 to 5, 2026 at the Hapuna Westin Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii. The symposium brings together leaders, researchers, and innovators from around the world to explore the technologies and strategies shaping the future of the electronics industry.
The program features ground-breaking research from experts on Reliability & Quality, Strategic Direction/Industry Roadmaps & Emerging Technologies, 3D Heterogeneous Integration & Nanotechnology, Cleaning/Cleanliness Testing & Humidity Control, Reliability & Advanced Fabrication, Thermal Solutions & AI Inspection, and more.
With participation from a dozen universities from around the globe, the Pan Pacific Strategic Electronics Symposium is the bridge between academic research and application in the electronics manufacturing industry. This year a dedicated session of research from Korean universities is the result of a partnership with the Korea Packaging Integration Association.
The final day of the event starts with a panel discussion on the topic of “AI in Action: Progress, Pitfalls, and the Future of Electronics” which will be recorded live as part of the Reliability Matters podcast.
