What is PDX?
PDX is a hands-on training expo for product development engineers. Instead of passive booth browsing, you’ll participate in practical, skill-focused sessions led by industry experts—including training, troubleshooting, demos, and live consulting.
Who should attend?
PDX is designed for professionals working in product development roles, including:
How is PDX different from a traditional tradeshow?
Traditional tradeshows are sales-focused. PDX is training-focused.
You’ll spend 30–60 minutes in small groups learning practical skills you can apply immediately—not listening to pitches.

Will sessions be recorded or live-streamed?

What is the format of the training sessions?
PDX training sessions are hands-on, small-group workshops led directly by exhibitors at their booths. Instead of passive presentations, you’ll spend 30–60 minutes learning practical, real-world skills from engineers and technical experts—not sales reps.
Each exhibitor presents four total sessions (two per day), and most sessions are offered multiple times so you can build a schedule that fits your interests. Sessions range from beginner to advanced and may include live demos, problem-solving, walkthroughs of tools or workflows, or even real-time consulting on engineering challenges you bring with you.
This format is intentionally designed to help you learn quickly, ask questions, and build meaningful relationships with experts who can help you solve problems in your work.Remove “What’s included in my ticket price?” for now since we’ll be updating pricing tiers with different access levels.
