Las Vegas Trade Show Calendar
IPC APEX EXPO Fabrication
IPC APEX EXPO returns to San Diego Convention Center (now rotating) / Las Vegas Convention Center during January and February, drawing 8000+ attendees. Exhibit House of Las Vegas delivers custom booth fabrication purpose-built for IPC APEX EXPO's exhibitor profile: PCB fabrication equipment, assembly machinery, soldering, inspection systems, chemicals, design software.
Custom Booth Build for IPC APEX EXPO
Our fabrication scope for IPC APEX EXPO begins with the engineered drawings — every structural element gets stamped before we cut material. San Diego Convention Center (now rotating) / Las Vegas Convention Center has specific load and rigging rules that we account for upfront so the field crew never argues with the fire marshal.
We work from your account team's brand book, but the build itself is engineered from the show's specific rules: ceiling height limits at San Diego Convention Center (now rotating) / Las Vegas Convention Center, hanging-sign weight allowances, and any sightline restrictions that apply to IPC APEX EXPO's floor plan.
IPC APEX EXPO runs at San Diego Convention Center (now rotating) / Las Vegas Convention Center during January and February. Attendance is typically 8000+, and the show targets PCB fabrication equipment, assembly machinery, soldering, inspection systems, chemicals, design software. Premier electronics manufacturing show in North America. Held January/February. Includes technical conference and certification programs.
Fabrication Lead Times at IPC APEX EXPO
Plan backward from IPC APEX EXPO's install date: graphics signoff at minus-3 weeks, structural fabrication complete at minus-4 weeks, crating at minus-2 weeks, and freight pickup at minus-10 days. We hit those gates or we tell you why we can't.
We don't pretend lead times don't matter. The realistic floor for a full custom build for IPC APEX EXPO is 8 weeks from approved drawings; anything shorter means tradeoffs on finish quality or international-sourced materials. We say so up front.
IPC APEX EXPO has been hosted by IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries since 2000. January/February electronics-industry anchor

Design-to-Build Workflow for IPC APEX EXPO
We assign a fabrication project manager to IPC APEX EXPO who owns the build from kickoff through dismantle. That person is your single contact, runs the production shop, and travels to San Diego Convention Center (now rotating) / Las Vegas Convention Center for install if scope warrants it.
Our workflow keeps fabrication and graphics on parallel tracks for IPC APEX EXPO, which is the only way to hit aggressive show calendars.
Frequently asked questions
How does San Diego Convention Center (now rotating) / Las Vegas Convention Center's rigging policy affect what we can build?
San Diego Convention Center (now rotating) / Las Vegas Convention Center has specific hanging-sign and rigging rules that we plan around — ceiling height limits, weight per anchor point, and required certified-rigger coordination.
What's a realistic budget for a custom 20x20 booth at IPC APEX EXPO?
A 20x20 custom fabrication at IPC APEX EXPO typically runs $35K-$65K for the structure alone, depending on materials, hanging elements, and finish complexity.
How early do we need to start fabrication for IPC APEX EXPO?
For a full custom build at IPC APEX EXPO, plan on 8-12 weeks from approved drawings to crating, plus another 2-3 weeks for graphic print and apply.
Do you build the booth in Las Vegas or ship it in?
We fabricate in our Las Vegas shop. That means our crew can visit during production, mock-ups happen here, and the freight run to San Diego Convention Center (now rotating) / Las Vegas Convention Center is a short one.
Can the booth be reused at the next cycle of IPC APEX EXPO?
Yes, and we design for it. We also store the crates between cycles if you want.
