IPC APEX EXPO 2023 attendees can meet with electronics industry innovators and connect with peers all in one place at the San Diego Convention Center, January 21–26, 2023.
From the exhibit floor to the classroom and everywhere in between, including the show floor welcome reception, poster presentations, newcomers networking reception, exhibitor product showcase corridor, ice cream social on the show floor, women in electronics networking reception; and more, attendees can meet, greet and connect at special networking events throughout IPC APEX EXPO 2023.
Among the highly anticipated special events is opening keynote by mechanical and aerospace engineer, host and co-producer of Emily’s Wonder Lab on Netflix, and executive producer and host of Xploration Outer Space on FOX, Emily Calandrelli. On Tuesday, January 24, Calandrelli will present, “The Sustainability, Economics and Advocacy of Space Exploration,” addressing how space exploration is helping life here on Earth and providing an overview of the innovation occurring today -- where we’re headed and the economics and advocacy behind it all.
New in 2023 will be a career connection event with special guests from IPC’s Emerging Engineer program who will lead a discussion on forging a career path by taking risks and looking for opportunities. Advance registration for the career connection networking event is required and is free with the All-Access Package; registration for this event is $40 if registering separately.
“Special events at IPC APEX EXPO provide tremendous value for attendees,” said Alicia Balonek, IPC senior director of trade shows and events. “And, when it comes to career development and advancement it’s not only what you know it’s also who you know. Thousands of industry leaders, manufacturing innovators and subject matter experts from across the globe will convene at IPC APEX EXPO 2023, making it the place to be to help you build company and personal networks and advance careers to the next level. This is what makes the IPC APEX EXPO experience priceless.”
