KEYNOTES
Are You Ready for the EV Revolution?Loren McDonald, CEOEVAdoption, LLCWednesday, November 3 | 9:00am-10:00am | Room 200A/B
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.

Wednesday, November 312:30pm-1:15pmEngineering Theater
Since its creation in 1816 by the French Physician René Laënnec, the stethoscope has become the quintessential icon for a physician. We will be exploring the transition from the age of the stethoscope to the age of robotics and artificial intelligence — and envision a world in which the next iconic tool for a physician is not a physical augmentation to hear breath sounds and cardiac sounds but an augmentation to understand a patient's digital twin to be able to predict disease and intervene even when separated by vast distances.
Steve Grove, Commissioner, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED)
Thursday, November 412:30pm-1:15pmEngineering Theater
Minnesota is home to one of the highest per capita of Fortune 500 companies and home to many more key engineering and manufacturing businesses. This is largely in part to a few key things: our focus on innovation and economic expansion, our diverse workforce, and a growing ecosystem to support innovation. In this keynote presentation, Commissioner Steve Grove will discuss opportunities and advancements in the North Star State and take questions from the audience.

SPECIAL EVENTS
Growing the Future: NextGen Electronics Manufacturing Workforce2:00pm-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.

Electric Vehicles: Fad, Fantasy, or Fortune in SMT?11:30am-12:30pm | Room 205CD
This EV roundtable will discuss the emerging EV market: why it hit an inflection point and how we should be responding. We’ll discuss opportunities for business growth and, more importantly, our responsibility as industry leaders to be good stewards in PCBA for automotive applications.
Come join SMTAI keynote speaker, Loren McDonald, and industry experts, Debbie Carboni and Brian O'Leary, for an educational and lively exchange on the emerging market of electric vehicles.

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 di�erent flavors of people in our industry. (Don’t be surprised to find a couple of nuts in the bunch.)
