Tech Tactics East

Tech Tactics is a day dedicated to Porsche technical information. This event is for all Porsche enthusiasts, from casual information gatherers to everyday Porsche mechanics. Get the latest news directly from the source. Topics range from balancing carburetors to understanding how the new hybrid systems work.

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.

By 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 slightly changed direction in terms of format.

In 2011, Tech Tactics became a PCA National Event and was hosted at the PCNA Training facility in Easton, PA. Later that year, PCA hosted the West Coast version in the same type of facility. This facility has been the perfect home for this “hands-on “type of event. This facility is used to train Porsche technicians on the intricacies of new Porsches and to provide valuable training on Porsches of the past. It is equipped with state-of-the-art classrooms with lifts and drivetrain assemblies, which will be available for our event. In 2025, the 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 Porsche Training Facility in February 2026.

Tech Tactics East is limited to 125 entrants per day. The day consists of lectures by PCNA Field Specialists, PAG Project Managers, members of the PCA Technical Committee, and representatives from other companies, including Michelin, LN Engineering, Total Seal, and Griots Garage.
