attendees,” says Alicia Balonek, IPC senior director of trade shows and events. “Most of the events are free with registration — whether you pre- register for free exhibit hall admis- sion or sign up for our most compre- hensive educational package. Where else can you see a rock-star like Michio Kaku at no charge?” Several events will take place


on the show floor, including the IPC/NPL Cleaning and Contam - ination Center, where attendees can get expert guidance on new cleaning and contamination monitoring processes and learn how to tackle reliability failures. Two hand soldering contests


will also heat up the show floor, first as competitors strive to win the IPC APEX EXPO Hand Soldering Com - petition — and then as the winner faces off with victors from other com- petitions around the world in the inaugural IPC Hand Soldering World Championship. Other networking opportuni-


ties: an International Recep tion, First-Timers’ Welcome Break fast, Women in Electronics Networking Meeting and IPC Tech Talk Breakfast.
