Trade Show Executive, the foremost magazine for the trade show industry, recognized IPC APEX EXPO 2024 as one of the top 100 fastest-growing trade shows in the United States for the number of exhibiting companies and net square footage.
IPC APEX EXPO, the largest trade show for electronics manufacturing in North America, hosted 412 exhibitors who engaged in three days of business development, generating 22,552 qualified sales leads on 138,900 net square feet of Anaheim Convention Center show floor space. In addition, the show attracted 7,245 total visitors including attendees and exhibitor personnel, a 5.1 percent increase from 2023.
“This achievement is a testament to the strength and innovation of the electronics industry and the incredible support of our exhibitors, attendees, and partners,” said Alicia Balonek, IPC senior director of trade shows and events. “We are celebrating 25 years of IPC APEX EXPO next month, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to Anaheim March 15-20.”
According to Trade Show Executive, The Fastest 50 & Next 50 honorees are selected based on the percentage of growth in three categories:
- Net square feet
- Number of exhibiting companies
- Number of attendees.
IPC, along with other honorees will be recognized at The Fastest 50 Awards & Summit, taking place April 30-May 2 in Orlando, an exclusive event for upper-level trade show management, specifically for budgetary influencers and decision-makers.
This year, IPC APEX EXPO will feature more than 400 exhibitors from every step in the electronics manufacturing supply chain, including the industry’s leading equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and product innovators who provide services to help attendees gain greater efficiency while improving their bottom lines.

SEMICON West: The Path to a $1 Trillion Future
10/14/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West moved its 2025 show to Phoenix, which is significant because it highlights the importance of Arizona as a semiconductor and tech hub. Though the show will be back in San Francisco in 2026, the overwhelmingly warm welcome SEMI received from Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, and ASU President Michael Crowe—who has been responsible for ASU repeatedly achieving the U.S. News and World Reports most innovative university ranking—was remarked upon repeatedly. All indications are that SEMICON West may well be back in Phoenix after that 2026 season.
