The Institute of Circuit Technology
Steve Driver - ICT Chairman
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Institute of Circuit Technology. Having served on the Council for several years, and been part of the PCB industry since 1980, I am proud to serve as Chairman of an organisation that has supported our industry for more than 50 years.
The real strength of the ICT lies in its members and the wealth of knowledge and experience they are always willing to share. Through our technical seminars, annual symposium, Foundation Course and Journal, we provide opportunities to learn, exchange ideas and build valuable connections across the PCB industry.
Whether you are new to the industry or an experienced professional, I hope you will find the ICT a welcoming and valuable community. If you are not yet a member, I encourage you to join us; if you are already a member, thank you for your continued support.
Please explore the website, and I look forward to meeting you at an ICT event soon.
