IPC is now accepting abstracts for technical papers with presentations, posters, and professional development courses at IPC APEX EXPO 2025. The technical conference will be held March 18-20 and professional development courses will take place March 16-17 and 20, 2025 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
The industry’s premier conference and exhibition for the electronics industry, IPC APEX EXPO provides presenters and their companies with a notable and cost-effective opportunity to promote their expertise and gain visibility with key engineers, managers, and executives from all segments of the industry worldwide. Topics for technical conference papers, technical posters and professional development courses include: advanced packaging/components, assembly and test processes, design, electronic assembly materials, emerging technologies, Factory of the Future, HDI, µHDI and substrates, PCB fabrication and materials, power electronics, quality and reliability, and sustainability for electronics.
To recognize exceptional achievement, the IPC Technical Program Committee (TPC) will select the top qualifying papers and one top poster for awards. Awards include “Best of Conference,” “NextGen Best Paper,” “Best Student Research Paper,” and “Best Technical Poster.”
For technical conference paper presentations and posters, IPC seeks abstracts that describe significant results from research experiments, highlight new techniques or materials, and/or discuss cutting-edge trends and challenges facing the electronics manufacturing industry. All submissions must be non-commercial, summarizing original and previously unpublished work covering case histories, research, and discoveries. Conference speakers and presenters are entitled to a free one-day conference pass for the day of their presentations and are eligible for discounted rates if they wish to register themselves for the full conference. Papers will be published in a proceedings document, and both paper and poster presentations will be delivered in person at IPC APEX EXPO 2025 in Anaheim. Deadline for technical paper abstract submissions is September 6, 2024.
All posters will be displayed on the exhibit floor, with dedicated poster networking sessions for increased visibility. Authors of posters selected for the conference will receive further guidance on formatting, printing, and displaying posters. The deadline for technical poster abstracts is October 4, 2024.
For professional development courses, IPC seeks abstracts for three-hour sessions of live instruction covering all aspects of electronics manufacturing. Courses can be offered as one 3-hour session or two 3-hour sessions (offered as Part 1 & Part 2 for a total of 6 hours). Honoraria and travel expense stipends are offered to professional development instructors. Professional development abstracts are due September 6, 2024.

Marcy’s Musings: Looking Forward—APEX EXPO 2026 (and AI Design Tools Too)
02/18/2026 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsThis month, I-Connect007 Magazine previews APEX EXPO 2026, from exhibitors and special events on the show floor to new insights from the technical conference, details on keynotes, and advancements in critical industry standards. The show also has an international flavor, so we’ve included links to articles from Mexico, East Asia, and India. For PCB designers, we focused on AI in design tools, which turns out to be much more than the dreaded auto-router. We've got articles from Zuken, Siemens, and AllSpice.io.
Changing the Electronics Systems Conversation
02/16/2026 | Nolan Johnson, SMT007 MagazineRebranding as the Global Electronics Association is not the only major change happening at APEX EXPO this year. There’s also a shift in the scope of the technical program as heterogenous integration and other advanced packaging methodologies come into the mainstream at both the component and system levels. We spoke with Matt Kelly, CTO and conference general chair, Devan Iyer, chief strategist for advanced electronic packaging, and Stan Rak and Udo Welzel, now in their fourth year as chairs of the Technical Program Committee, about what distinguishes the conference this year.
