(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131023/SF02837LOGO) "The world of printed circuit board design and layout is changing rapidly," said Patrick Mannion, VP and Brand Director for UBM Tech, Electronics. "With increasing signal speeds and lower power requirements, the humble PC board, along with its layout and manufacture, has become central to a successful system design, as much as the choice of components, software, topology, and user interface. Just look at the accelerating growth of DesignCon over the past number of years." "We're excited to be participating in these two launches," said Frank Hoschar, Chief Marketing Officer for Altium, which has taken a premium launch sponsorship for the two sites. "Like these two new communities, Altium also is dedicated to helping all players involved in the PCB industry track, understand, discuss, and respond appropriately to the constantly evolving matrices of business, technology and tool change that affect their ideas, designs, and overall success." The PCB Designline will be a focused area within the EE Times community dedicated to helping managers, business decision makers and designers get their minds around the latest board and system developments, trends and standards, and business implications therein. Led by Senior Editor Max Maxfield, the PCB Designline will provide a rapid-interaction platform for timely blogs and contributions of topical interest. The EDN PCB Design Center is a dedicated community built within a design engineering environment and founded upon the principles of deep board- and system-design knows how, knowledge sharing, mentorship and collaboration. Led by EDN's Senior Editor, Janine Love, the PCB Design Center provides everything from in-depth technical and how-to features to product reviews, and videos, as well as regular expert blogs, and on-going member discussions. Both sites heavily emphasize community, exercising a targeted combination of DeusM/UBM Tech best practices to ensure engagement appropriate for each environment from the PCB community itself, from business leaders to hands-on designers.
