Annual Orlando Trade Shows / IPC APEX EXPO Build Crews
IPC APEX EXPO Build Crews
Expo Stand Builders Orlando delivers exhibit construction and on-site install purpose-built for IPC APEX EXPO's exhibitor profile: PCB fabrication equipment manufacturers, soldering technology vendors, inspection systems companies, EMS providers.
Build Timeline for IPC APEX EXPO
Build timelines for IPC APEX EXPO depend on scope, but a 20x20 typically installs in 4-6 hours with a 3-person crew; a 30x40 with hanging signs runs 10-12 hours across a two-day install window. We don't pad timelines but we also don't underquote them.
For IPC APEX EXPO, we run a build-list per booth that tracks every component from production through install. Anything not checked off in the production manager's hand at crate-up is reflagged for field assembly, so the crew on-site doesn't discover missing pieces under pressure.
Attendance is typically 8000+, and the show targets PCB fabrication equipment manufacturers, soldering technology vendors, inspection systems companies, EMS providers. Premier electronics assembly and printed circuit board manufacturing trade show. Annual event at OCCC each January drawing global manufacturers.
Orlando Crew Capacity at IPC APEX EXPO
Continuity matters when the schedule compresses.
We don't rent crews from temp agencies. Our Orlando install team is W-2 staff, IATSE/local union signatories where required, and seasoned at IPC APEX EXPO specifically.
IPC APEX EXPO has been hosted by IPC (Association Connecting Electronics Industries) since 1957. Florida's growing electronics and defense manufacturing sector drives demand for advanced PCB and assembly technology
Booth Installation Requirements at Orange County Convention Center
We plan around those rules instead of fighting them. Lead times for EAC approval at IPC APEX EXPO are typically 30 days.
Orange County Convention Center's install requirements include union labor for rigging and electrical (where applicable), drayage through the official material handler, and fire-marshal sign-off on tall structural elements. We file the EAC paperwork and coordinate with show management.
On-Site Coordination for IPC APEX EXPO
On-site at IPC APEX EXPO, our supervisor coordinates with Orange County Convention Center's show management, the GC if there is one, and your account team.
We assign a project manager and a lead supervisor to IPC APEX EXPO. The PM handles paperwork and exhibitor communication; the supervisor runs the field crew. You have two phone numbers, both of which are answered during install hours.
FAQ
Who's the single point of contact during install at IPC APEX EXPO?
Both have phones that answer.
Can you handle dismantle for IPC APEX EXPO as well?
Yes, dismantle is part of every install we run. Dismantle photo documentation is standard.
What happens if our exhibit gets damaged in freight?
Insurance recovery is part of how we close out an event.
Do you work with union labor at Orange County Convention Center?
We work within Orange County Convention Center's labor jurisdiction. That includes rigging, electrical, and any other trade where the venue requires union signatories. Our project managers handle the EAC and labor-coordination paperwork as part of the build scope, not as an add-on.
How long does a 20x20 booth install take at IPC APEX EXPO?
A 20x20 custom booth at IPC APEX EXPO typically installs in 4-6 hours with a 3-person crew, longer if there are hanging signs, complex AV, or extensive graphic detailing. We schedule the install during Orange County Convention Center's official load-in window and finish well before show open.
