With top execs and engineers presenting on such breakthrough topics as 5G, Automotive, and Highly Reliable Films and Laminates, the Insulectro Power Chats, branded ipc@IPC, will be presented in a three-quarter round theatre presentation in Insulectro’s new 1800 square foot mega-booth - #4025, the largest exhibit in the suppliers and materials section.
“We are pleased to take our ipc@IPC - Insulectro Power Chats, to the next level with our valued suppliers, DuPont, Isola, and EMD by presenting a new topic every 30 minutes” commented Ken Parent, Vice President of Sales & Product Management, “We have 20 amazing presentations that should be of top interest to fabricators and OEMs. The Chats are topical, short, info-packed learning sessions presented by experts in the field during IPC APEX EXPO. In 13.5 minutes per Chat, attendees will learn the WHAT/WHY/HOW of these industry game changers.” The Power Chats will rotate and repeat during the show’s three days of exhibition.
“These key suppliers are leading the pack with cutting edge engineering on new technologies that are expected to have a major impact on everyone’s life,” stated Michelle Walsh, Insulectro Director of Product Management, who also moderates the sessions, “to accommodate the demand our Power Chats are likely to generate, we’ve increased our exhibit space substantially to create a theatrical environment for presenter and audience alike.
“We’re delighted to bring many of these presenters and topics to IPC, for the first time, to explore both the far-reaching vision and new processes that are being developed. It’s a great chance to experience how an industry pioneer thinks about the future. Over the past seven years our IPC Power Chats have been enormously popular. Often times, it’s standing room only. That’s due to the intriguing topics we spotlight in our chats and in our booth. This year promises to be no exception,” Walsh concluded.
All Power Chats are in Space #4025 at IPC APEX EXPO. No sign-up required, and topics are repeated by your convenience. Printed schedules available in Insulectro Booth #4025.
