Are You Ready for the EV Revolution?                                                          Sponsored by

                                           The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) and away from gas-powered vehicles
                                           is clearly underway both around the world and in the US. Many key questions
                                           remain however, including how quickly the transition will occur (especially in
                                           America) and how disruptive the transition to EVs will be to various segments of
                                           the auto industry — from suppliers, to dealers and OEMs. In particular, the shift
                                           to EVs is turning the automotive supply chain on its head as lower barriers of
                                           entry are bringing many new players — both big and small — to the table.

                                           In his keynote presentation, electric vehicle analyst and consultant Loren
                                           McDonald of EVAdoption will enlighten SMTA members on how and when
                                           the EV transition is likely to play out and outline both key challenges and
                                           opportunities for surface mount technology suppliers.

Growing the Future: NextGen Electronics Manufacturing Workforce
2:00pm-4:00pm | Room 201B
We’re confident you’re well aware of the current difficulty and projected future inability to replace experienced
technical staff to sustain a robust and technically competitive electronics manufacturing base in North America.
Many conditions over decades led to this current state of affairs (years of consolidation, offshoring, focus on more
glamorous “dot.com” career options, aging-out of “boomer” -era technical staff, COVID, etc.) and no one single
solution will correct it, and it will take time (years) but there are efforts underway to begin the road back.

                                                 Wednesday, November 3

  Ice cream comes in many flavors and everyone typically has a favorite or two. Think of how boring life would be if all of the
  ice cream in the world was vanilla with no sprinkles or toppings. There is nothing wrong with good ole vanilla, chocolate or
   strawberry but imagine a world without rocky road, pistachio or butter pecan! I shudder the thought. Come join us as we
  mingle and celebrate the different flavors of people in our industry. (Don’t be surprised to find a couple of nuts in the bunch.)
