Don't Blink: The IPC APEX EXPO Time-lapse
January 31, 2023 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
It’s a tradition here at I-Connect007 to set up a time-lapse for IPC APEX EXPO. There’s something satisfying, mesmerizing even, to watch the show floor build out and see the moment when the doors open and visitors fill the exhibit hall. Based on what others have said over the years, I know I’m not the only one whose favorite part is when the carpet gets rolled out and the whole character of the exhibition changes. This time lapse starts on the Saturday prior and continues through the Thursday tear-down phase.
The time-lapse location has varied over the years. This year’s time-lapse comes to you from the I-Connect007 booth, directly above the video studios, on the main aisle of the show. This vantage point illustrates just how vibrant the hall was over the course of the three-day exhibition.
We hope you enjoy this two-minute peek into a week as an exhibitor at IPC APEX EXPO 2023. And we’ll see you next April in Anaheim.
