The newly appointed IPC APEX EXPO Technical Program Committee (TPC) is inviting engineers, researchers, academics, technical experts, and industry leaders to submit technical conference abstracts for IPC APEX EXPO 2022 to be held at the San Diego Convention Center. The technical conference will take place January 25–27, 2022.
“The TPC – comprised of top technical leadership and subject matter experts from across the electronics industry – continues to build and strengthen the IPC APEX EXPO technical conference. A new committee chair and co-chair, expanded committee size, and a new structure enables the group to be future focused and provide a stronger technical voice spanning various technologies and the supply chain,” said Matt Kelly, IPC chief technologist. “The TPC’s mission is to deliver strong, relevant, and valuable technical programming that balances conventional technology advances with next-generation disruptive technologies. With these upgrades to the TPC, I’m excited to see what the IPC APEX EXPO 2022 technical conference has in store.”
Led by Beverley Christian, Ph.D., HDP User Group (Chair) and Stanton Rak, Ph.D., SF Rak Co. (Co-Chair) the 24-person committee comprises the following members: Bhanu Sood, Ph.D., NASA Goddard Space Flight Center; Cheryl Tulkoff, NI; Chris Jorgensen, IPC; Hans-Peter Tranitz, Ph.D., Continental Automotive GmbH; Jason Keeping, Celestica Inc.; Jerry Magera, Motorola Solutions; Martin Goetz, Northrop Grumman Corporation; Matt Kelly, IPC; Michael Ford, Aegis Industrial Software; Michael Carano, RBP Chemical Technology, Inc.; Milos Lazic, Indium Corporation; Paige Fiet, Michigan Technological University; Paul Cooke, Asahi Glass Co.

Smart Automation: AI—Revolutionizing Inspection in Electronics Manufacturing
05/27/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationArtificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a staple in our personal and professional lives. In electronics manufacturing, integrating AI to combat common inefficiencies and to contextualize data will open new doors into how we supplement our traditional processes. In some specific areas of the electronics manufacturing process, integration of AI on the factory floor is already having a tremendous effect. One such area is PCBA inspection, particularly 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.
