IPC COMMUNITY 55 SUMMER 2024 whom is you, Hannah. This opportunity keeps me grounded and provides a fresh perspective. Christina, some would say you have made a home for yourself at APEX EXPO. What brings you back to the conference, and what makes the experience most enjoyable? The expo floor is a really cool treasure, full of the newest technology, applications, and demos. The show floor is a firsthand look into what is happening in the industry right now. Addition- ally, I really enjoy the opportunity to connect with professionals to discuss emerging technol- ogies and the state of current developments in person. I agree with you, Christina. The show floor showcases some of today's most interesting, immersive technology. Why would you encour- age more young professionals to become involved in IPC APEX EXPO and standards committees? It's a really great way to accelerate learning beyond company training. You gain exposure to diverse aspects of the industry, discover your interests, and you see how your contributions fit into the broader electronics landscape. IPC APEX EXPO is an investment in your growth and understanding of the electronics industry. Thank you, Christina, for sharing your story. I'm inspired by your drive to develop standards for the industry, and for helping young professionals in their careers. Thank you for having me.
