Electronic Advances Abound at APEX 2001

摘要

APEX 2001, the Elec- tronics Assembly Process Exhibition and Conference, will take place at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego. Conference dates are Jan. 14-18; exhibits will be open Jan. 16-18. A total of 380 companies have signed on to exhibit at the second annual event, occupying all 170,700 square feet of exhibition space. APEX has been organized by the IPC SMEMA Council in response to what it sees as "an industry need for a trade show that is cost-effective and fair for exhibitors, and highly focused on the products and technology of the electronics assembly industry." APEX features many segments of the electronics assembly industry, from bare boards to tested assemblies. It claims to be the only show in North America that showcases machinery from every pick-and-place manufacturer.
