The 2015 event had higher at-
tendance and in general many
exhibitors seem happy with the
quantity and quality of those at-
tending. Sanjay also discusses the
increased membership as well as
the IpC global efforts. Of particular
interest is his vision for the newly
formed ambassadors Council and
its new mentoring efforts. The
locations for the next four apEx
ExpO shows were also confirmed.
