Turn to this issue for a handy reference. You will find the event schedule, details on special sessions you won’t want to miss, how to use the APEX app on your smartphone, show floor highlights, the skinny on social/networking events, hints of new awards for member contributions, information on professional development courses, and new offerings such as the E-Textiles track and the India Pavilion. There is so much more packed into this year’s SMT007 Magazine show preview issue, you don’t want to miss any of it.
