About this event

Tech Tactics is a one-day event that allows entrants to choose, at registration, whether to attend on Saturday or Sunday. Topics and speakers are the same on both days.

Tech Tactics History
The event was born in 1980 in the heart of Zone One at the Harley Hotel north of Hartford, CT. It quickly outgrew the facility and moved to the Springfield Sheraton, where it resided for over twenty years. By the 1990s, it was the premier technical weekend for PCA, featuring renowned speakers such as Norbert Singer, Phil Hill, Derek Bell, and Brian Redman.
In 2007, attendance was dwindling, and a new venue was in order. The event was moved to the Farnbacher-Loles facility in Danbury, CT. The move regenerated interest in the event, with over 250 attendees. With the demise of the F-L facility, we moved again and changed direction slightly in terms of the format.
In 2011, Tech Tactics became a PCA National Event hosted at the PCNA Training facility in Easton, PA. This facility has been the perfect home for this "hands-on " event. This facility is used to train Porsche technicians on the intricacies of new Porsches while also providing valuable training on older Porsches. It is equipped with state-of-the-art classrooms with lifts and drivetrain assemblies, which will be available for our event.
In 2025, the PCNA Training facility expanded its technical classroom footprint, adding additional space for Porsche Classic training. We are excited to once again host Tech Tactics East at the facility in February 2026.
Please note: We are awaiting final confirmation from our guest speakers and will have a schedule of topics and speakers coming soon!
