Shout out to our media partners for covering this year's event- IPC APEX EXPO is making headlines thanks to you. We appreciate all you do for IPC!

One of the benefits of going virtual was the opportunity to deliver more content in new ways that will allow you to access the content for a second, third and fourth time so you can derive the full benefit from more than 100 educational options. This way, you can experience IPC APEX EXPO content for months instead of days. You have from March 15 to June 13 to take advantage of all your chosen courses.
