IPC COMMUNITY 102 SUMMER 2023
We have several events planned for Q3. First,
we have scheduled two IPC hand soldering
competitions. These are platforms for show-
casing skills and sharing knowledge. We also
have two IEMI 2023 conferences, which are
valuable opportunities for networking, knowl-
edge sharing, and staying current on industry
trends.
The IPC Hand Soldering Competitions will
take place in Dubai, UAE (July 6, Neuro Tech-
nologies), and Penang, Malaysia (July 12–14,
EMAX Expo), and are organized by IPC's Inter-
national Electronics Manufacturing Initia-
tive. These are highly anticipated events that
bring together skilled soldering professionals
from around the globe. They will demonstrate
their skills under the watchful eyes of industry
experts and serve as a platform for recogniz-
ing and celebrating excellence in manual sol-
dering techniques.
The Integrated Electronics Manufactur-
ing Interconnections (IEMI) conference is a
prominent event in the electronics manufac-
turing industry. IEMI 2023 will be held in two
major cities in India. The first conference will
take place on Aug. 1, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu,
followed by an IEMI 2023 event in Pune, Maha-
rashtra, on Aug. 3.

tors along with the B2B meetings.
One of IPC's most valuable benefits, the
free new standard, provides member com-
panies with one single-user digital down-
load of each new or revised standard after
it is released. The number of free standards
provided to each company is determined
by company revenue. Free documents are
released in the original language in which
they were developed. IPC releases approx-
imately 20 new standards each year. At an
average cost of $140 per standard, the free
standard benefit is a significant cost saver
for members.
IPC standards are available for download
to a single device, designated by the pri-
mary contact at a member company. The
contact receives an email notification when
the latest IPC documents are available for
download. Documents are digital rights
management (DRM) protected and need
to be opened via the FileOpen plugin for
Adobe. Instructions on this process will be
provided to the company contact via email.
First-time IPC member companies
receive a gift of one electronic single-de-
vice license IPC standard of their choice.
This is a separate benefit from the Free PC
Standard Benefit.
