IPC COMMUNITY 109 WINTER 2025 IPC Europe By Sanjay Huprikar, President, IPC Europe and South Asia Operations The IPC Europe Team wrapped up a busy events season in 2024 at electronica in Munich in mid- November. We were thrilled to be one of 3,600 exhibitors at the world's largest electronics fair, which drew 80,000 attendees from 100 countries around the globe. The show organizer's vision of the "All Electric Society" was a great fit with IPC's expanding vision of electronics being the resource of the global economy. Our stand featured: • The worldwide hand-soldering championship won by contestants from China, India, and France. • A thought leadership forum with 12 industry subject matter experts talking about design, Factory of the Future, sustainability, industry intelligence, and advocacy. The latter featured a visit from the European Commission. • Live interviews with 50 key industry executives and technologists by Phil Stoten of SCOOP Communications. • Partners lounge area with hundreds of visitors and 70 informal meetings. Our team looks forward to engaging our Euro- pean members during the first quarter of 2025 at several significant industry events: • Pan-European Electronics Design Conference, Jan. 29-30, Vienna, Austria • Southern Manufacturing & Electronics Show, Feb. 4-6, Farnborough, UK • Global Industrie, March 11-14, Lyon, France • IPC APEX EXPO, March 18-20, Anaheim, California Please contact PhilippeLeonard@ipc.org for more information.
