San Diego Convention Center
We’re happy to announce the San Diego Convention Center is open for business and just concluded their first city-wide event since the shutdown and have several more events scheduled to take place later this month.
Mask Guidance
- In California, unvaccinated people are required to wear face masks in all indoor public settings, including the San Diego Convention Center.
- State and County are also following CDC guidance that recommends everyone wear a face mask in indoor public settings, whether you've been vaccinated or not.
The state will assess conditions by September 1, 2021, to determine whether updated requirements or recommendations are needed beyond October 1, 2021. We will continue to monitor these guidelines and keep you updated as conditions change.
International Shipping
California port delays in Los Angeles and Long Beach are at a record high. If you’re shipping equipment from overseas via ocean freight to IPC APEX EXPO we recommend you plan your shipment for early November to avoid any potential delays.
If you’re not already working with an International Freight Forwarder/Customs broker you may want to consider utilizing one for your overseas shipments for IPC APEX EXPO. Even if you don’t need help importing, you can still benefit from having a professional licensed customs broker on your side.
Customs brokers can save you time, money, and stress when it comes to importing. Not only can they file paperwork on your behalf, but they can also act as your consultant, your advocate, and your legal partner. The primary goal of a customs broker is to get a given shipment cleared through customs in as timely a manner as possible.
IPC has designated Phoenix International as our official International Freight Forwarder & Customs broker for IPC APEX EXPO. Although you can select an independent customs broker for your overseas shipments, there are more benefits in utilizing the services of the show’s official customs broker since they specialize in trade show shipments coming in and out of the country and will have a representative on-site at IPC APEX EXPO to provide assistance if your shipment is delayed and handle all on site documentation on your behalf.

Exhibitor Move-In
Exhibitor move-in for IPC APEX EXPO is targeted, meaning each exhibitor will be assigned a specific move-in date and time in which their shipments can arrive. Due to the high volume of exhibitor freight for this event, we use this systematic process for the receipt of freight and delivery to booths which is based on when IPC obtain access to the exhibit halls, the location of booths in the exhibit hall and on specific exhibitor needs. A scheduled target time means that your freight will begin to be unloaded at some point during your allotted time frame.
