ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) June 30, 2005 -- UP Media Group Inc. (UPMG) is pleased to announce the final conference program and event schedule for PCB Design Conference East 2005--the premier East Coast conference and exhibition for printed circuit board (PCB) engineering, design and manufacture professionals. The 10th anniversary PCB East 2005 will be held on October 10-14 at the Expo Center of New Hampshire, in Manchester, NH, a location that’s central to the New England technology corridor and only a short distance from Canada’s “Silicon Valley North.”

PCB East 2005 features a five-day conference program of targeted Professional Development and Technical Conference courses, plus a keynote address, a wide variety of free special networking events and a terrific two-day exhibition of the industry’s hottest products and services.

The PCB East three-day Technical Conference (Tues. – Thurs., Oct. 11 - 13) includes 30 short courses—26 of which are new to PCB East. The Technical Conference is bracketed by 12 Professional Development Certificate Program courses: nine full-day tutorials and three two-day Design Excellence Curriculum (DEC) courses. Five of the 12 Professional Development courses are new to PCB East. Professional Development Certificate Program course attendees receive certificates of completion following the show.

“This year's conference program is one of the best we've ever put together. The topics are timely and targeted, and the list of speakers reads like an industry who's who,” said UPMG President Pete Waddell. “To celebrate the 10th anniversary of PCB East, we’re planning a variety of networking events and fun activities designed to provide our attendees, exhibitors and speakers with the opportunity to build new friendships and make important and lasting industry contacts. Several of these events are new to the show and are sure to be talked about for months afterwards.”

The Welcome Luncheon and Industry Icon Roast on Mon., Oct. 10 at noon will be the first special event held at this year's show. For now, the roastee’s name is being kept under wraps but clues will be “leaked” on the show Web site during the weeks leading up to the show. Free to all Monday attendees, others may register to attend this plated luncheon event for only $25.

The Keynote Address will be held on Wed., Oct. 12 at 12:30 pm. This year’s keynote speaker and topic will be announced at a later date on the PCB East Web site.
