Professional Development
Professional Development Courses at IPC APEX EXPO 2025 will offer the highest-quality educational content delivered by experts in all areas of the electronics industry. Participants in these courses will gain new knowledge and real-world skills that will equip them to rapidly respond to changing demands for new technologies, materials, and processes. As major world events impact supply chain and consumers’ demand for products and materials, IPC’s Professional Development Courses offer a venue to learn about best practices, lessons learned from challenges in the field, cutting-edge technology, and trends with updated IPC Standards.
This year’s conference includes something for everyone, including informative courses catering to technical managers ready to level-up their careers.
