Europe’s electronics supply chains demand clearer options for components, PCBs and contract manufacturing. In November 2026 Warsaw hosts a specialized trade fair that brings together component makers, EMS providers and industrial buyers.
Practical details for 2026
Electronics Sourcing Expo 2026 runs from 3 to 5 November 2026 at Ptak Warsaw Expo. The exhibition focuses on electronic components and semiconductors, PCB and PCBA design-to-manufacturing, and contract manufacturing services including EMS, ODM and JDM.
The organizer presents this as the premiere edition aimed at linking technical catalogues with procurement decisions.
Key figures for the event
- Attendees 5000
- Exhibitors 90
- Venue Ptak Warsaw Expo
Use these figures to size your team, meeting schedule and technical samples.
Exhibitor and attendee profile
Exhibitors include component manufacturers and distributors, PCB producers, EMS and CEM companies, and suppliers of assembly machinery, testing and inspection systems. Attendees cover procurement directors, production managers, R&D and design engineers, quality and certification specialists, and OEMs evaluating contract partners.
This composition targets sourcing workflows from RFQ to supplier qualification and production readiness.
Programme and the Procurement Forum
The Electronics Procurement & Supply Chain Forum CEE is part of the agenda. The forum focuses on practical content across the supply chain: preparing professional RFQs, supplier qualification and audits, BOM resilience, component compliance and certification, TCO calculations and supply continuity.
Sessions mix procurement-oriented talks with technical briefings on testing and compliance relevant to contract manufacturing.
Commercial prospecting and networking tactics
Concrete steps to prepare before and during the show
- Create a standardized RFQ template with key specs, tolerances and projected volumes
- Consolidate BOM and compliance documentation to demonstrate manufacturability to EMS partners
- Shortlist up to 20 target exhibitors and request meetings through the fair platform
- Bring prototype samples or detailed specifications for on-stand feasibility checks
- Assign a QA lead in your visiting team to evaluate testing, inspection and certification processes
Applying these steps shortens evaluation cycles and makes technical negotiations more efficient.
Technical trends visible at the show
Sectors highlighted in the exhibition and programme include semiconductors, PCB materials and assembly, automation for production lines, testing and quality control, and supply chain verification. Emphasis on BOM resilience and certification reflects procurement and production pressures on traceability and regulatory compliance.
Combining machinery, components and EMS suppliers in one venue lets buyers verify end-to-end manufacturability and cost drivers.
Closing note and registration link
If your mission is to source components or evaluate contract manufacturers, arrive with technical dossiers and a prioritized meeting list. Register and review the exhibitor catalogue at the official site https://electronicssourcingexpo.com/en to plan which suppliers to engage during the show.
