IPC COMMUNITY 34 WINTER 2024 In September, IPC Europe participated in the successful IPC Day Romania, "Build Elec- tronics Better with Standards and Solutions," featuring speakers from Flex, GE Healthcare, Indium, IPC, NASA, Nokia, Stellantis, TTM Technologies, Viscom, Vitesco Technologies, and the Polytechnic University of Timisoara (UPT). Attendees learned about the latest advance- ments in electronics standards and solutions, reliability, e-mobility, medical electronics, and workforce training and education. The event began with keynote presentations from John W. Mitchell, IPC president and CEO, and Paul Baldassari, president of Flex. IPC Day Romania was sponsored by Flex, which did an outstanding job hosting the more than 230 attendees at the Polytechnic University, and which provided the audito- rium to welcome an event of this size. On the day before the event, Flex opened its doors to IPC, where visitors toured their site. It was a very detailed and extraordinary factory tour. Attendees were invited to visit a Flex-sponsored SMT laboratory at UPT, fol- lowed by a cocktail event at ARChA for the Exhibition Atlas of Distances, an exhibit from "Timisoara 2023–European Capital of Cul- ture," featuring the design and architecture installations related to extraction climate and industrial cycles. In addition to enjoying the cultural events in the city, participants networked with a com- munity of peers and participated in vigorous discussions about the latest advancements in electronics manufacturing.
