Economy the Talk at IPC Midwest Print E-mail
Written by Mike Buetow   
Friday, 26 September 2008
SCHAUMBURG, IL -- IPC Midwest opened Wednesday to modest attendance and plenty of concern over the economy. The second-year trade show attracted light to modest traffic, aided by the ongoing technical conference and standards writing meetings.

Very little in the way of equipment or materials was introduced at the show. That freed plenty of time to discuss the economy, particularly the massive financial markets meltdown, which have most parties convinced will take at least two quarters to dig out from under. Some expressed concerns over the ability of customers to obtain loans for necessary capital improvements.
