What motivates you to attend this year’s PRINTING United Expo?
New product and equipment ideas, new vendors, old friends. It keeps us in the know on the industry and new trends.
If you’re a first-time attendee, what are you hoping to learn. If you’re returning, what brings you back?
It is simply the best hands on, face-to-face way to learn about the printing industry.
Which products, brands, or services are you most looking forward to seeing this year?
DTF Printers, new materials in wide format, laser engraving, and sublimation.
How do you plan to maximize your time at the Expo?
On the Expo floor mainly, but I will schedule some one-on-one time with new and current vendors.
How do you think attending the Expo will impact your business or career?
As always, I come away with new ideas to provide our clients, management info for the company itself, and an overall better understanding of the state of the industry. I learn what's new, what's hot, and what's not.
