This year brought a mix of familiar and new faces to the Wingspan Conference Center for our annual show. Our show photographer Wally Larsen captured some images.

We’re thrilled to have QTex AI as a first-time exhibitor and Silver sponsor of this year’s show! Oliver MacDonald, co-founder of QTex AI, generously shared his time with us so that we could introduce all of you to this new valued member of our community.

We couldn’t have a successful NEDME without the talents and efforts of Blaine Watson, director at full-service engineering and product development firm designPORT. Not only is Blaine a key part of the all-volunteer NEDME board, he will also be sharing his expertise and experience with us as a speaker at NEDME 2025

One of the distinguished speakers in this year’s brilliant lineup is Mark Veary, Director of Engineering at Hillsboro-based electronics manufacturing service Fusion EMS. At NEDME 2025, Mark will be sharing his insight on “SMT Mounting of Mechanical Components.”

this year’s show will feature full day speaker tracks in Management, Design, Manufacturing, and Business, as well as a panel discussion on AI and electronics manufacturing.  In the Management track, we’re very pleased to host Gregory Kovsky of International Business Associates (IBA).

The NEDME team is thrilled to welcome back ASC Sunstone Circuits as one of our Gold Sponsors for 2025! We caught up with Kelly Atay of ASC Sunstone to talk shop about the electronics industry and what benefits ASC Sunstone has seen from their involvement in NEDME.
