Behind the Scenes with IPC Technical Conference Coordinator Toya Richardson

Richardson: I don't. I can tell you that Kristin Scheuler, who is in charge of the conference rooms and setting all of that up for the venue, is doing a wonderful job. Kristin always does a great job with our rooms. She always amazes me when we need something like an extra room.
Goldman: That's great. It's funny you said that you don't really have any time off. I always thought that with it happening in March you would get a little break afterward, but I know that in June we're already starting to solicit papers for the next year. There really isn't any spare time, is there?
Richardson: No. There's always a back portion to it that our attendees do not see. We have to put together the call for papers. I look at that and make sure that it says what it's supposed to say and the deadlines meet what they are supposed to meet. Are we adding new topics? Are we taking any away? Are we changing names in terms of who to contact and things of that nature? That has to be done and it's a back-and-forth process before we actually put it out. Then once we put it out, we're thinking right away, “Now where are the abstracts?” All of that still takes place before June.
I'm very excited about the upcoming (IPC APEX EXPO) show, because I've never been at this venue before. This will be fun, exciting, and as always, challenging.
Goldman: Sounds good. It's always a pleasure talking with you.
Richardson: Thank you so much.
