BANNOCKBURN, IL – IPC Apex Expo 2021 will be offered virtually Mar. 8-12.

“Given ongoing Covid-19 health and safety concerns and continued restrictions for large gatherings and events in California, it was not feasible to safely convene the nearly 9,000 expected participants at IPC Apex Expo 2021,” said IPC president and CEO John Mitchell. “The event will now take place in a safe, all-virtual format.”

The online event will feature 100 technical sessions and professional development courses, as well as product demonstrations and exhibitors. Technical sessions will be available to registered attendees for replay for 90 days after the event.

Attendees can attend multiple keynotes, a meet-and-greet with IPC hall of famers and emerging engineers, participate in a virtual trivia event, and learn about products and technologies during daily exhibitor new product introductions.

“Be it in person or via an online platform, it is IPC’s goal to maintain IPC Apex Expo’s position as the premier event for the electronics manufacturing industry, providing practical applications for learning – knowledge that attendees can immediately apply to their work, as well as far-reaching insights that can be applied toward implementing future technologies. Wherever in the world you may be located, IPC Apex Expo 2021 is the place to be.”

Registration is expected to open Dec. 17. For more information, visit www.ipcapexexpo.org.

IPC Apex Expo will return to an in-person format in 2022 and will take place Jan. 25–27, 2022, at the San Diego Convention Center.
