The hallmark of PCMI is its technical conferences, held twice each year in either the US, Europe or Asia. These three-day conferences provide presentations and technical papers, short courses, research results, discussion of industry trends and a tour of a PCM facility or other manufacturing operation.

The conferences also provide the opportunity for suppliers to give presentations on new products and other developments. Importantly, the conferences provide an opportunity to meet personally with members of the industry and develop meaningful personal relationships.

For more information on our scheduled and bespoke training courses, please contact our Executive Director, Catherine Flaherty by phone: (508) 385-0085 or email: cflaherty@pcmi.org.

October 7 – 11, 2017
50th Anniversary International Spring Conference
“Innovations in PCM – Focusing on Imaging and Resist “
Palace Hotel, Como, Italy

The technical presentations will provide you with the information you need to stay current with new technologies and innovations in the PCM industry, plus give you the valued networking time you want to interact and learn from your colleagues from around the world.

“Through the PCMI, we learned of Professor David Allen’s availability to perform an evaluation of etching facilities with a view towards enhancing operational efficiencies and otherwise lowering costs. David identified several opportunities for improving our operation that resulted in a measurable increase in our operating margin. After the cost of the evaluation, Conard’s savings justified the PCMI’s dues by a factor of 20 or more - per annum!” Bill Fox, President, Conard Corp.
“Every PCMI meeting I attend provides insights and hints to improve the processes used back at our shops and factories.
The wealth of information exchanged at these meetings is invaluable. Time saving shortcuts and formula tweaks are but a couple of valuable perks I have brought home.”
Phil Greiner, Tooling Manager,
PEI
"The most important thing for me at the PCMI is networking.
Having the right contacts, based on trust and integrity, mutual problems may change into mutual benefits."
Harrie Knol, Manager,

"When I first purchased my PCM company, the only knowledge of chemical etching that I had was what I had learned from visiting my uncle’s circuit board company.
I joined PCMI shortly after I purchased my company.   Over the years the PCMI technical sessions and the chance to learn and talk with other owners and suppliers at meetings has contributed to my firm's growth and profitability in an environmentally friendly manner.
The cost of PCMI membership has been well worth the money."
Jerry Williams, President,
United Western Enterprises, Inc.
Camarillo, California, USA
"I joined PCMI in 1994 when my company was just a small local job shop encountering dozens of daily problems for which we were ill equipped to solve. As we developed relationships with other PCMI members, they shared their experiences and we learned to work more effectively and efficiently.
Today I only have to make a few phone calls to my PCMI friends and I can get answers to pressing problems right away. PCMI membership and conference attendance has proven to be of great importance to the growth and development of my company."
Paolo Iellici, General Manager,
Chemical Machining Spa,
San Donato Milanese, Italy
