The IPC APEX EXPO 2018 is just weeks away. To be held from February 24 to March 1 at the San Diego Convention Center in California, USA, the event has continuously hosted many visitors from the electronics manufacturing industry all around the world.
Here are the top three reasons attendees have indicated why they attend IPC APEX EXPO, and why you should, too.
1. Education you can only get by attending IPC APEX EXPO.
The world's premier Technical Conference: Education that teaches the practical. Stringently vetted content that's never been presented elsewhere; we deliver the latest research and innovations from subject matter experts in the areas of board fabrication and design, and electronics assembly.
Professional Development Courses to boost your career: Get up to speed on the latest in design, materials, process improvement, solder joint reliability and more with over 30 courses delivered by corporate technologists, consultants, training center staff and university faculty.
Design Forum: Some of the industry's most distinguished experts deliver design-focused education on the hottest topics such as Printed Circuit Board 4.0 and Key Design Considerations that impact cost & affect manufacturability of PCBs.
Buzz Sessions: Get key insights on the hot industry trends such as 3D Printed Electronics, Industry 4.0 and E-Textiles - topics that point the way toward tomorrow.
2. Build a network that takes you in new directions.
Connect with thousands of your electronics industry peers from around the globe in sessions, on the exhibit show floor, at dinner, lunch or breakfast. Find valuable networks that improve your company's performance, further your personal success, make new connections and strengthen existing relationships.
3. Experience the largest collection of industry suppliers all under one roof.

Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Assembler’s Guide to... Low-Temperature Soldering, Vol. 2, Chapter 5
12/23/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamChapter 5 introduces the advantages of using low-temperature soldering for through-hole components, including cost efficiency, reliability improvement, and reduced warpage. Also covered: the evaluation of different fluxes and the performance of HRL3 in wave soldering and selective soldering processes.
Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/13/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007This week, Peter Tranitz discusses the upcoming Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, set for Jan. 29-30 in Vienna, Austria. Pete Starkey brings us a review of the most recent EIPC Technical Snapshot webinar, which featured a global PCB maker update by Dr. Hayao Nakahara. Don't miss our interview with Manfred Huschka, who explains how companies can begin their own China Plus One plan. Stan Farnsworth breaks down photonic soldering and discusses its use in soldering materials that are not typically compatible. I also enjoyed Dan Beaulieu’s discussion on the value of consistency, and why just showing up for work is half the battle, especially in an inconsistent, evolving industry like ours.
Advancing Photonic Soldering
12/11/2024 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineStan Farnsworth, director of customer satisfaction at PulseForge, discusses the advancements in photonic soldering that highlight its energy efficiency and versatility. Over the past two years, the company has refined its applications for flexible substrates and energy reduction, finding that photonic soldering allows the processing of materials that typically aren’t thermally compatible and offers significant energy savings compared to traditional methods.
