Arrow Electronics World, the company’s flagship annual conference, will return to the Palaverdi venue in Parma, Italy, for its fifth edition on June 18, 2026. The one-day event is designed for electronics professionals across the entire supply chain—including engineers, procurement specialists, executives, and manufacturers—offering opportunities to network, explore new technologies, and gain insights into where the electronics industry is heading.
A key theme of the event is the growing influence of global geopolitics on the electronics supply chain, with discussions focused on how shifting international dynamics are reshaping the industry. Another major focus is the rise of artificial intelligence at the edge, examining how intelligence is increasingly being embedded into edge and embedded systems.
The expanded Technology Area will showcase live demonstrations and cutting-edge solutions developed by Arrow’s engineering teams alongside its partners. Spanning 17,000 square meters, the exhibition space will host more than 100 booths featuring manufacturers and technology partners, giving attendees hands-on access to new products and direct engagement with technical experts.
Exhibitors include leading industry players such as 3M, Amphenol, Eaton, Honeywell, Infineon, Lattice Semiconductor, Microchip, Micron, Molex, Murata, NXP Semiconductors, onsemi, Panasonic, Phoenix Contact, Quectel, Samtec, SanDisk, Silicon Labs, STMicroelectronics, TDK, Toshiba, Vishay, Wolfspeed, and Yageo, among many others spanning semiconductors, passive components, connectors, power systems, wireless technologies, and storage solutions. Arrow’s own divisions—including Converge, eInfochips, and Arrow SE—will also be represented at the event.
The agenda, which can be viewed below, includes two keynotes:
