Exhibitor Service Manual

Dear Exhibitor:


IPC is delighted to welcome you as an exhibitor at the 2008 IPC Printed Circuits Expo, APEX and the Designers Summit. It’s YOUR Show — the world’s premier technical conference and exhibition for printed circuit boards, design, electronics manufacturing and test.


The Exhibitor Service Manual is enclosed within this packet. In consideration of the environment, the manual is only available on CD and online. The targeted move‐in plan is also enclosed, as well as VIP passes to share (you can order more for FREE, details in the manual).


As you know, a great deal of detailed planning is required when participating in a trade show. This manual has been designed with you in mind — we want you to be as successful as possible, with all available resources at your fingertips! Although you will receive e‐mail newsletters and reminders from IPC Show Management and Show Contractors, it is your responsibility to be as proactive as possible. Please make sure to thoroughly read all of the forms and work rules included in the exhibitor manual, as increased knowledge minimizes wasted time and unnecessary expense.


Be sure to visit the “Current Exhibitors” portion of the Web site, where you will find additional information you will need, including an online version of this manual, instructions on ordering VIP passes, updating your directory listing and much more. While you’re there, visit the “Deadlines” section of the Web site for important dates and deadlines.

Participation by industry leaders like your company is a critical component to the success of this event. We are dedicated to helping you make the 2008 IPC Printed Circuits Expo, APEX and the Designers Summit a success for your company.


Feeling overwhelmed? If you have any questions, please contact me or any of my fellow IPC Show Team members.


On behalf of the entire IPC organization, thank you for your support. See you in Las Vegas!


Best regards,


Sarah Martino, CEM
