With 35 confirmed appointments two weeks prior to the show, we expected a busy three days and IPC APEX EXPO delivered. We hosted more than 200 customers, doubling our sales leads from the previous year, which we considered a huge success. And logistically, from planning to implementation, the show was stress free – you just can’t ask for anything more than that.”

Show attendees also achieved what they sought from the event, “I have found that IPC APEX EXPO is the best place to connect and learn about both present and future processes, and equipment and technology advances.
