Trade Show Executive, a leading magazine for the trade show industry, has recognized IPC APEX EXPO’s 2024 edition as one of the top 100 fastest-growing trade shows in the United States, based on the number of exhibiting companies and exhibition space covered.
In 2024, IPC APEX EXPO, the largest trade show for electronics manufacturing in North America, hosted 412 exhibitors who engaged in three days of business development, generating 22,552 qualified sales leads on 138,900 net square feet of Anaheim Convention Center show floor space. In addition, the show attracted 7,245 total visitors including attendees and exhibitor personnel, representing a 5.1% percent increase compared with 2023.
“This achievement is a testament to the strength and innovation of the electronics industry and the incredible support of our exhibitors, attendees, and partners,” commented Alicia Balonek, IPC senior director of trade shows and events. “We are celebrating 25 years of IPC APEX EXPO next month, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to Anaheim on March 15-20.”
According to the magazine, the nominees were selected based on the percentage of growth in three categories: net square feet, number of exhibiting companies, and number of attendees.
IPC, along with the other honorees, will be recognized at The Fastest 50 Awards & Summit, taking place from April 30 to May 2 in Orlando. The event is exclusive to upper-level trade show management, specifically for budgetary influencers and decision-makers.
This year’s IPC APEX EXPO 2025 will feature more than 400 exhibitors from every step in the electronics manufacturing supply chain, including the industry’s leading equipment manufacturers, suppliers, and product innovators who provide services to help attendees gain greater efficiency while improving their bottom lines.
