No matter where you are in the global electronics supply chain, you’ve probably heard the phrase, “I need it now.” In this fast-moving, ever-evolving industry, we hear that a lot. What drives what happens now? It’s a critical combination of the latest technology and knowledge, which is what you’ll find at IPC APEX EXPO 2015.

Starting with the opening keynote with Robbie Bach, former president of entertainment and devices at Microsoft and Xbox visionary, you’ll learn about the triumph of a strategic process that brought together a disparate group of talented individuals who applied entrepreneurship to build a successful consumer business within the larger Microsoft structure. On the show floor, you’ll see and compare equipment from more than 440 of the industry’s top suppliers, discover new processes to gain greater efficiency, and uncover news solutions that will help improve your bottom line.

In keeping with the event’s theme of “Upgrade Your Tech-NOW-ledgy,” the technical conference will feature approximately 100 technical papers detailing original research and innovations from industry experts around the world. For best practices in design, lead-free technologies, materials, process improvement, solder joint reliability, PCB fabrication and materials, quality and reliability, the more than 30 professional development courses will go beyond theory to provide practical solutions you can implement right away.

With so many courses and technical papers to choose from, and the world’s elite subject matter experts to interact with, it could be beneficial to look into the All-Access Package. This package can help you save a significant amount off a la carte options, but more importantly provide the maximum learning experience for your investment. The All-Access Package includes the technical conference, conference proceedings, standards development committee meetings, a choice of up to five half-days of professional development courses, event essentials, luncheons, design forum, and if you’re a senior-level executive – PCB supply chain leadership or EMS management council meetings.
