The Printed Circuit Engineering Association (PCEA) has announced that PCB East 2026 will take place at a new location. The one-day exhibition takes place on April 29, 2026, at the DCU Center in Worcester, MA. The four-day technical conference takes place from April 28 to May 1, 2026.

“The new location for PCB East marks an exciting development for the largest electronics conference and exhibition in New England,” said Mike Buetow, president, PCEA. “The DCU Center is a first-class facility, and Worcester is the second-largest city in New England, with all the amenities of Boston but at a much lower cost for attendees. We see this move as a natural evolution of a growing market and event.”  

Any company that exhibited at PCB East 2025 may register to do so for the 2026 event exclusively through an email alert from PCEA. Effective July 21, any current corporate PCEA member will then have an opportunity to book for PCB East 2026. Starting August 5, any company may register to exhibit at pcbeast.com.

Attendance for PCB East 2025 exhibits rose nearly 4% year-over-year. Attendance among the exhibits-only category was up 15% from a year ago. In all, more than 65 leading suppliers of electronics design tools, manufacturers of bare boards and assemblies, and suppliers of fabrication and assembly equipment and materials exhibited at the show.
