Technology Pavilion Debuts at APEX EXPO 2026
February 26, 2026 | Global Electronics AssociationEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Many of the technologies shaping the future of electronics manufacturing, particularly in areas such as 3D integration, digital manufacturing, advanced design workflows and automated metrology, are moving faster than traditional publication and standards cycles.
“The APEX EXPO 2026 Technology Pavilion will bring technology innovators such as these to the forefront, through a dedicated space where emerging tools, approaches, and early-stage breakthroughs can be shared with attendees,” said Chris Jorgensen, senior director, next-generation standards, Global Electronics Association.
This is more than just a product showcase, he said. “The Pavilion is there to spark insight, challenge assumptions, and help attendees connect emerging capabilities to real-world manufacturing and design challenges they face today.”
The Pavilion will be the site for the Design Town Hall, which recognizes progress in design standards, education, events, and new solutions as well as a panel discussion with the IPC Design Leadership Council.
“You can expect to come away from the Technology Pavilion with a clearer understanding of where advanced PCB and PCBA technologies are heading,” Jorgensen says, “how digital manufacturing, leading-edge materials sciences and multiphysics simulation are enabling more complex designs, and how connected design workflows are reducing risk across the product lifecycle.”

Single Pair Ethernet (SPE): A Valuable Option for Modern Designs
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007When it comes to designing PCBs and full systems for increasingly complex electronics hardware, who doesn’t want to reduce complexity and cost? Single-Pair Ethernet (SPE) has emerged as a solution and is gaining rapid attention across industrial electronics and PCB design because it enables Ethernet communication over a single twisted pair, replacing the traditional two- or four-pair cabling used in standard Ethernet networks. This seemingly simple shift has significant implications for designers: smaller connectors, reduced cable weight, longer reach, and the ability to carry both data and power over a single pair.
