REAL TIME WITH... IPC APEX EXPO 2024 SHOW & TELL MAGAZINE I I-CONNECT007 177 with Frank, you know it's much more than a photo; it's truly a wonderful experience. The guests stated that they felt relaxed, reener- gized, and more confident after their few minutes with Frank. Be sure to stop by next year to get your Frank Bevans photo experi- ence. Out on the show floor, PV Nguyen took hundreds of photos of special events, award winners, exhibitors' booths, and their equip- ment. She set out to capture the photos that tell the story and illustrate the energy of the show. During the Tuesday night show floor recep- tion at the I-Connect007 booth, you may have heard Kelly Dack, Nolan Johnson, and Dylan Nguyen, alongside industry icon and IPC Hall of Fame member Dan Fienberg, playing live music. When Dan wasn't playing music, he was out roaming the show, seeing what was new, as was I-Connect007's technical editor and industry icon Happy Holden. Look for their articles in this issue of Show & Tell. Dylan Nguyen also spent some time on the show floor, collecting thoughts and impres- sions from attendees. When he was not on the show floor, he was busy covering all the keynote addresses and attending Profes- sional Development Courses. Dylan is cur- rently an engineering student at Oregon State University and stated that he gained valuable insight into his career planning by attending the show. If you ever want to know what it's like to be an I-Connect007 customer, just stop by our booth and talk with Barb Hockaday and Tobey Marsicovetere. You will quickly see why many companies have been doing busi- ness with us for decades. Their many years of industry experience, combined with their love for taking great care of our customers and soon-to-be customers, is extraordinary. It's the kind of thing you don't just go to school to learn—it's part of their DNA. A special thank you to the IPC team for organizing such a powerful event. The Tech- nical Conference was world-class, and the well-thought-out Professional Develop- ment Courses are helping many to grow in their careers. The Emerging Engineer pro- gram is growing and helping our industry become better. I shared with IPC President Dr. John W. Mitchell how impactful it is for young engineers to be at the event and have a chance to interact with their mentors and the industry. In the end, it took many hands to make light work. So, a big thank you to all who worked to make this show valuable to the industry and help us build electronics better. S&T
