The Fabricator’s Guide to IPC APEX EXPO
It’s time to buckle up, because we are counting down to IPC APEX EXPO 2024, taking place April 6–11 in Anaheim, California.
Like any great tech industry event, IPC APEX EXPO pushes us out of our busy 24/7 manufacturing bubbles. It forces us to pay attention to things that are important but not always present in our day-to-day lives. But there is so much to see and do. This issue of PCB007 Magazine previews many of the important events taking place at the show this year and highlights some changes and opportunities.
Let us help you map out your show plan. This issue is focused on the PCB fabricator’s show experience and how you can get the most from your valuable time and investment in attending the show.
Here are some highlights:
- IPC APEX EXPO: What Fabricators Should Know with Matt Kelly, Julia Gumminger, Udo Welzel and Stanton Rak
