IPC APEX EXPO 2025 Review: Expecting the Unexpected
03/31/2025 | Tom Kastner, GP VenturesOne of the best things about trade shows is not the scheduled meetings but the chance meetings that come up unexpectedly. Just because you happened to go down one aisle instead of the next, you bump into an old acquaintance that you have not seen for years, or you happen to talk to the guy in line next to you to get a $5 Pepsi, and it turns into a great, new connection.
