Forwessun Connect: First Industry Meetup for Electronics Test Professionals in Guadalajara

Last week, alongside SMTA Mexico, Forwessun opened our Guadalajara facility to host the first gathering of Forwessun Connect, bringing together professionals from across the electronics test, manufacturing, and automation industries.

The event was created to give industry professionals a relaxed setting to connect after a busy exhibition day. Away from the exhibition stands, Forwessun Connect provided an opportunity to discuss experiences, exchange ideas and build relationships with other industry professionals.

“We talked about ICT and functional fixtures, test coverage, cycle times… and plenty of things that never come up in a meeting.”

Said Ricardo Medina, Forwessun Mexico Sales Manager. 

Forwessun Connect focused on In-Circuit test and Functional test fixtures, test coverage and cycle times, alongside the practical challenges that engineers and manufacturing teams encounter in their day-to-day work.

Just as importantly, the event provided space for conversations beyond the usual meeting agenda. By bringing together like-minded individuals in an informal environment, Forwessun aimed to encourage open discussion, knowledge sharing and stronger connections across the industry.

Great food and drink pushed conversation, helping create a welcoming atmosphere, making the event an opportunity to meet face to face with colleagues and peers from across the electronics manufacturing sector.

Forwessun would like to thank everyone who took the time to attend the inaugural Forwessun Connect, particularly after a full day at SMTA Mexico 2026.

The positive response to the first edition has reinforced the value of creating opportunities for the electronics test and manufacturing community to come together, share experiences and discuss common challenges outside the usual working environment.

“Thank you to everyone who made the time to come after such a long day. You made this first edition even better than we expected.”

Continued Ricardo.

The first edition marks the beginning of what Forwessun hopes will become an ongoing opportunity to bring the industry together.

Forwessun Connect will return, with further opportunities for professionals in electronics test, manufacturing and automation to meet, exchange ideas and strengthen industry relationships.
