IPC Printed Circuits Expo/38th annual meeting

This event is not just one event but a whole series of them running more or less concurrently. The main parts consist of meetings of the various IPC Technical Committees and their Working Groups, a number of Tutorials and Workshops, some Forums, a Technical Conference with 21 sessions and, of course, the Printed Circuits Expo. The last‐named is the second of its type, the first having been held in Boston last year. The only real problem with this series of events is that there is so much going on at any one time that it is impossible to split oneself into parts to attend them all or even a fraction of them. For example, on the Monday morning, there were 28 Committee and Task Group meetings, some of them lasting four hours, five Workshops and as many Tutorials. By Tuesday, the Conference and Expo had started, so there were fewer, only ten Committee meetings, one forum and three Paper Sessions in the Conference, and so on.
