6 I-CONNECT007 I REAL TIME WITH... IPC APEX EXPO 2022 SHOW & TELL MAGAZINE By Nolan Johnson I-CONNECT007 Welcome back… on so many levels! First, welcome back to Real Time with… IPC APEX EXPO 2022 Show & Tell Magazine. is spe- cial publication is a supplement to our other monthly magazines and brings you exclusive, in-depth coverage of the 22nd year of IPC APEX EXPO. Which leads me to the next wel- come: Welcome back to IPC APEX EXPO as a live event. It was good to see all the attendees, to reconnect, and talk about business (and our friendships) once again. It was at the awards luncheon on Monday that I had the first feeling of truly being back. In this moment, as I surveyed the main ball- room full of round tables populated by confer- ence attendees all sitting together over lunch, reconnecting, using their presence to show their appreciation for the research and achieve- ments over the last 24 months, I was struck by how good it felt to be amongst these people in the industry. While we are talking to you every day, seeing you in person felt so good. We are back in the sense that we are stronger. As I walked the show floor, it was clear that the last two years have been good to our industry. Demand for electronics has grown, It's Great to Be Back
