Dear John

Electronica 2016 saw thousands of manufacturers, distributors and customers come together to showcase, experience and discuss the latest technology and innovation in the electronics world.

If you were not able to attend, or didn't get a chance to meet with us then take a moment to watch our round-up videos, in which we speak to some of our key suppliers at the event.

Part 1 highlights industry trends and what makes Electronica such an important event, while in part 2 we discuss one of this year's key themes, the Internet of Things, and find out what suppliers are doing to enable this rapidly developing technology.

If you have any questions about the products or solutions mentioned in either video, or if you wish to discuss your design requirements in detail, please visit Ask an Expert to contact one of our regional product specialists.

We hope you like the video,

Your Avnet Abacus team
