I-Connect007 Invites College Students to Participate in Photographic Coverage of IPC APEX EXPO 2018

I-Connect007 has invited local college students to participate in the company’s photographic coverage of IPC APEX EXPO 2018 in San Diego, California.
Students will be given a brief overview of trade show photography tips before being sent onto the show floor in I-Connect007 shirts. At the end of the event, the students’ photos will be reviewed and selected for publication in I-Connect007’s magazines, newsletters, and websites. Each participant will be awarded prize money based on their top submitted photos.
This partnership between I-Connect007 and local colleges will provide the students with a great opportunity to hone their photographic skills and connect the experience to their classroom studies. Trade shows can be a challenging environment to capture unique, quality photos due to numerous factors, such as lighting variations between booths and a large show floor to cover.
“Inviting students to photograph the IPC APEX EXPO 2018 will allow them to gain experience and add content to their personal portfolios. Plus, it allows I-Connect007 to involve young, local talent in our trade show coverage and showcase their work,” says Barry Matties, I-Connect007 publisher.
IPC APEX EXPO is North America’s largest electronics interconnect industry trade show that attracts industry leaders from around the world to network and demonstrate new equipment and technology. This trade show focuses on the printed circuit board and electronics manufacturing industry.
IPC APEX EXPO 2018 will be held at the San Diego Convention Center from February 24 to March 1. If you plan on attending the show, visit I-Connect007 at Booth #2645 and look for our student photographers on the show floor.

IPC Hall of Fame Spotlight Series: Highlighting Patty Goldman
11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.

Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
