It's Show Time!
This year marks the 25th anniversary of IPC APEX EXPO, our industry's largest global trade show completely dedicated to the printed circuit board supply chain. The show takes place in Anaheim, California, March 15–20, with the theme "Reimage the Possibilities," which feels apt as they mark this 25-year milestone.
In the February 2025 issue of PCB007 Magazine, we reimagine the possibilities by featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/28/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007I’ve spent my week recovering from a busy and interesting week in Anaheim for the 25th IPC APEX EXPO.

It was just a few years after the downturn, and attendees and exhibitors alike were skittish, almost afraid to show confidence in our industry. A few unemployed design friends handed out copies of their resumes. Travel budgets were still down, and the aisles weren’t exactly packed with traffic.
