McGuirk explained that the change to Las Vegas was in response to the IPC Printed Circuits Expo and APEX exhibitors and attendees. “We listened to our members and they expressed their dissatisfaction with Los Angeles as a venue for our events. We were fortunate that Mandalay Bay dates recently became available.”
“In 2007, Los Angeles was really our only viable option when other convention cities like San Diego and Las Vegas had no available dates,” said Jeffrey Timms, chairman of the APEX trade show subcommittee and vice president of Sales & Marketing Americas, Siemens Energy & Automation, Inc., Electronics Assembly Systems. “Today, we’ve been presented with a very positive option that should impact attendance very favorably. This, combined with attendee feedback and exhibitor input, reaffirm that it makes sense to make this move at this time.”
“The L.A. convention center is state-of-the-art, but the city doesn’t yet meet our members’ needs. We must remain focused on holding a successful event, and for now, that means a move to Las Vegas, “ McGuirk concluded.
