PEACHTREE CITY, GA – AUGUST 7, 2025 – The Printed Circuit Engineering Association (PCEA) today announced a special free panel session on “What Users Really Think of Today’s AI.” The one-hour session will take place at PCB West on Oct. 1 at the Santa Clara (CA) Convention Center starting at 10 a.m. PST.
The panel will discuss how the promise of AI is transforming electronic design and manufacturing, but also explore why adoption is harder than first expected. The panel will be moderated by Phil Marcoux, an electronics industry expert with over 50 years’ experience in electronics manufacturing.
Panelists include: Alex Zannos of Pensa Technologies (design), Matthew Leary of Newgrange Design (design), Farzam Moshtagh of Epoch International (assembly) and Jackson Schultz of Rainmaker Technology (supply chain).
“The panelists, who are users rather than suppliers, have examined various AI-assisted tools for their companies,” said Phil Marcoux, interim general manager of Epoch International. “Attendees are encouraged to hear and question their experiences, and provide opinions from their own experiences which could help shape changes that enable the acceptance of AI-assistance.”
