Techcon 2026
SVC TechCon 2026 will take place April 25–30, 2026 at the Long Beach Convention Center, bringing together researchers, engineers, and industry leaders from around the world to explore the latest developments in vacuum coating and surface engineering technologies.
Organized by the Society of Vacuum Coaters, this well-established annual conference serves as a key platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and showcasing innovations across semiconductor design, advanced materials, manufacturing processes, and system-level technologies.
The technical program covers a wide range of topics, including areas highly relevant to Vac Coat’s expertise:
- Functional coatings and surface engineering
- High-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS)
- Leak detection in vacuum coating systems
- Thermal barrier coatings
In addition to technical sessions, TechCon 2026 will host exhibitions, short courses, and networking events, providing valuable opportunities for collaboration between academia and industry professionals.
Events such as TechCon highlight the growing importance of precision vacuum coating technologies, thin film deposition, and advanced material characterization, which play a crucial role in modern research and industrial applications.
