March 4, 2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: 1 minute
This month’s issue of SMT007 Magazine devotes its pages to a comprehensive preview of the cannot-be-missed IPC APEX EXPO event in Anaheim, California, April 6-11, 2024.
The week-plus long event hosts several overlapping programs. There's the standards committee work at the heart of the IPC mission; then there’s the technical program boasting papers and presentations on some of the most influential research in our industry. And, of course, there’s the exposition portion—an enormous three-day trade show. Then there are the professional development programs, the special sessions on emerging technical topics, plus keynotes from industry leaders, awards banquets, and networking opportunities galore – both formal and informal.
If that weren’t enough, ECWC16, the Electronic Circuits World Convention (a once-every-three years PCB symposium) will be hosted by IPC at APEX EXPO 2024 this year. Held in different cities worldwide, ECWC provides a valuable platform to encourage knowledge sharing about the latest information on global PCB demand, PCB manufacturing processes, and promotes the domestic PCB industry in every country and every region.
For industry professionals looking to keep up with the latest, or push your knowledge forward, IPC APEX EXPO 2024 really delivers!
