APEX Tries Luck in Vegas
April 24, 2007 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
BANNOCKBURN, Ill. IPC Association Connecting Electronics Industries will move its international tradeshows IPC Printed Circuits Expo/APEX/Designers Summit to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Convention Center, in Las Vegas, Nev., for the 2008 conference and exhibition. The show will also move to April 13, leaving its February timeslot, with some programs beginning March 29, 2008.
The Mandalay Bay location includes sufficient space for the exhibition, technical conference, and standard development committee meetings, said Denny McGuirk, president, IPC. APEX exhibitors and attendees requested the association move the show from Los Angeles. The IPC Board of Directors, PCB Suppliers Management Council, and SMEMA Management Council steering committees and their two tradeshow subcommittees unanimously approved the Las Vegas location.
IPC held its IPCWorks conference and standards development meetings in October 2005 in Las Vegas and experienced strong attendance. Statistics from a recent survey conducted by Exhibit Surveys Inc., an independent research firm, support the move, with 87% of the responding tradeshow committees noting an increase in attendance when their respective events moved from another city to Las Vegas.
