View the Space Selection Schedule by Company

  • Each company is assigned a dedicated time period to select a booth which is based on lottery order and cannot be changed.
  • An IPC representative will contact your company’s main contact (as designated on the contract submitted by your company) on your designated day and time to select your booth space for the 2025 event. 
  • If IPC is unable to reach your company’s main contact or your alternate contact at your assigned time period, IPC reserves the right to assign your company’s booth based on availability at that time.

Step 2 — View the Floor Plan

View the LIVE FLOOR PLAN (Java Required)

  • Please refer to the above LIVE FLOOR PLAN link during space selection to view the most current and up to date floor plan for booth availability.
  • The live floor plan will be updated with exhibitor names approximately every five minutes during the space selection hours.
  • Please remember to hit the “refresh” button periodically to ensure you are viewing the most up to date floor plan. 

Step 3 — Select Your Booth Choices

  • IPC APEX EXPO is a co-located event with dedicated areas on the show floor.  Your booth choices must be in the portion of the show for which your company qualifies:
    • IPC APEX (Electronics Assembly): TBD
    • IPC EXPO (Suppliers to/and Bare Board Manufacturing): Aisles TBD
  • Since the floor plan and respective booth inventory are created based on contracts and deposits received, you may not increase or decrease from your contracted booth size during the initial booth space selection. 
  • If you contracted a 10’x20’ or 10’x30’ booth space, the appropriate number of adjacent vertical 10’x10’ booths may be combined for the proper configuration. 
  • Booths may not be combined horizontally
  • “end-cap” booths are not permitted
  • Island booths may not be divided or combined during initial booth space selection.  

Step 4 — Get Online

  • IMPORTANT:  Please be sure to be online viewing the LIVE FLOOR PLAN at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time period. 
  • Have your booth choices ready in advance of IPC’s call.
  • The live floor plan will be updated with exhibitor names approximately every five minutes during the initial space selection process.
  • Please hit the “refresh” button periodically to ensure you are viewing the most up to date floor plan.

Booth Change Request Form

A Booth Change Request Form must be submitted by companies who wish to be placed on a waiting list for a potential booth relocation or for companies who wish to increase or decrease from the originally contracted booth size.

Please be patient, as not all changes can be made immediately.  You will be contacted as soon as your request can be accommodated.

Please note, if IPC contacts you for a booth relocation you will have 48 hours to respond and confirm the relocation.  If a response is not received within this time frame, IPC will move on to the next exhibitor on the booth relocation waitlist.

Thank you for selecting to exhibit in IPC APEX EXPO 2025!
