The perfect San Diego weather on Wednesday morning ushered in another full day at IPC APEX EXPO 2022. IPC President and CEO John W. Mitchell’s keynote presentation offered a roadmap for the organization and the future of the electronics manufacturing industry. IPC runs on the contributions of its tireless volunteers, and a group of these engineers and technologists were honored at yesterday’s Awards Luncheon.
The traffic on the show floor was steady most of the day, and we saw a constant stream of visitors in the I-Connect007 booth and studio. Dozens of the industry’s top executives, experts, and engineers stopped by for video interviews. You can check out these interviews at our Real Time with… IPC APEX EXPO site.
Everyone we interviewed was happy to be back at a live trade show. Some people hadn't flown in for two years. It was nice to see Technology Editor Pete Starkey, who was able to travel here safely from the UK.

Patty Goldman catches up with Gene Weiner, the longest-serving member of IPC, about his experience meeting with the next generation of engineers in IPC’s Emerging Engineers program through a unique contest held at IPC APEX EXPO 2023. Weiner, who has attended well over 60 annual IPC meetings, shared his unflagging optimism and the lessons he’s learned over his illustrious career with the young professionals who managed to find him at the show. With so much still to do, Weiner has no plans to retire any time soon; he’s already hard work helping IPC develop a new program to support aspiring managers in the industry.
