Thank You to the I-Connect007 Team
March 25, 2022 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: Less than a minute

During IPC APEX EXPO, the I-Connect007 team works very hard to bring you several great interviews that will keep you up to date on the latest industry activity. This year, we had Nolan Johnson, Andy Shaughnessy, Pete Starkey, and Happy Holden of I-Connect007 in front of the cameras.
We also send out a very special thank you to our guest interviewers, who sat in the I-Connect007 show floor studio to conduct many interviews. The list includes Tara Dunn, Dick Crowe, Joe Fjelstad, Steve Williams, and Kelly Dack. Their contributions are greatly appreciated.
Our show floor production crew included Bryson Matties, Bryan Bernas, and Mike Radogna. Michelle Te greeted the guests and ushered them into our studio for their interviews. And with the remote support of Shelly Stein, each video was published within minutes of being produced. Thanks goes out to the entire team!
Once again, we greatly appreciate all the combined efforts to help make this the best IPC APEX EXPO coverage in the industry.
