This year’s Conference theme is ‘Delivering Clarity in Chaos’. Conference Committee Chair Zach DeVillers explains the thinking behind the choice. “The electronics ecosystem is becoming exponentially more complex, confusing, and chaotic,” he said. “That’s why the Committee decided on the 2026 ECIA Executive Conference Theme, DELIVERING CLARITY IN CHAOS! During our Conference, we are looking to provide clarity, apply strategy, and deliver confidence when dealing with today’s environment. We have a great speaker lineup and our volunteers have been working hard to make this conference the best ever!”
