Electronex Expo returns to Sydney for 2024

Following the success of 2023’s Electronex — the Electronics Design and Assembly Expo, the event will return to Sydney in 2024, taking place in the Rosehill Event Centre from 19–20 June. The 2023 event featured more than 80 exhibitors and was attended by over 1900 trade visitors; now, the Sydney event is also close to selling out.

Electronex is Australia’s only major exhibition for companies using electronics in design, assembly, manufacture and service. The SMCBA Electronics Design and Manufacture Conference will also be held alongside Electronex, featuring technical workshops from international and local experts.

Electronex will feature a range of electronic components, surface mount and inspection equipment, test and measurement and other ancillary products and services from local and international suppliers. Attendees will also be able to talk to contract manufacturers that can design and produce turnkey solutions to meet their specific requirements.

Designers, engineers, managers and other design makers who are involved in designing or manufacturing products that utilise electronics are all urged to attend. Many companies will also be launching and demonstrating new products and technology at the event.

Following the success of the inaugural IPC Soldering Competition in Melbourne, this year’s competition will be a round of the IPC World Championship with the winner invited to the finals in November. Further details about the competition will be announced in the lead-up to the event.

The Surface Mount & Circuit Board Association (SMCBA)’s annual conference, dedicated to electronics design and manufacture, will take place in conjunction with Electronex in 2024. The conference will feature a line-up of local and international experts, with David Bergman, Vice President of IPC International, to give the keynote address “Digitalisation of Electronics Manufacturing — Towards Smart Factory enabling Industry 4.0”.

Other presenters at the SMCBA Conference include Mike Creeden, Founder of San Diego PCB Designs; David Hillman from Hillman Electronic Assembly Solutions; Rick Hartley from RHartley Enterprises; and Chris Turner, PSCA Test Engineering SME.
