The electronics industry is driven by innovators and problem-solvers, and IPC APEX EXPO 2025 provided endless opportunities to connect, collaborate, and shape the future. From hot topics such as artificial intelligence, high performance computing, advanced packaging and EV electronics covered in keynotes, conference sessions and standards meeting to the latest innovations in capital equipment on the show floor, this year’s event provided ample knowledge sharing and networking opportunities, for 3,541 attendees from 39 countries.
Four hundred two (402) exhibitors engaged in three days of business development, generating 22,900 qualified sales leads on 132,100 net square feet of Anaheim Convention Center show floor space. IPC APEX EXPO attracted 6,863 total visitors including attendees and exhibitor personnel.
In keeping with the event’s theme, “Reimagining the Possibilities,” the IPC APEX EXPO Technical Program Committee built a strong technical conference program with 15 topic tracks, 28 sessions and 79 papers, with peer-reviewed content from industry thought leaders from across the globe, detailing original research and innovations. “Every year, I am reminded what an exciting and fast-paced tradeshow and conference IPC APEX EXPO is—the colleagues you run into, the new people you meet, the innovations you encounter, and the fascinating discussions you dive into. From attendees and exhibitors alike, feedback was generally positive, but we also walked away with several new ideas for next year to further improve the attendee and exhibitor experience and we’re eager to implement them,” said IPC President and CEO John W. Mitchell.
Commenting on his attendee experience, Josh Hanney, an electronics technician with the Oregon State Lottery offered, “We had a couple very niche issues with our rework and repair shop. The wide exposure to exhibiting companies at IPC APEX EXPO allowed us to find vendors that were able to provide specific solutions to these problems. We even found products and services to dramatically improve our processes and functionality. I feel like a much better technician for attending!”
The exhibitor experience at APEX EXPO 2025 was equally beneficial. “IPC APEX EXPO 2025 was head and shoulders above the 2024 show. We received more leads in the first day of the show than the full three days last year,” said Gregg Kleinberg, chief technical officer, Microscope World. “Our team was thankful to see the resurgence of activity in the PCB market and were grateful to be part of all the positive energy at the show!”
In 2026, IPC APEX EXPO will return to the Anaheim Convention Center, March 14-19. For more information on IPC APEX EXPO 2026, visit www.ipcapexexpo.org.
