GPA Plans to 'Make Some Noise' at DscoopX Through Sponsorships, Presentations, Exhibits

CHICAGO—February 26, 2015—As GPA celebrates its 75th anniversary, it is preparing a memorable experience for attendees of DscoopX, taking place March 5-7 in Washington, DC, GPA has a momentous year planned, which began with GPA’s introduction of a new Website and continues with its campaign and call to action: “It’s a Celebration—Let’s Make Some Noise!” The campaign is an invitation to customers to join GPA in celebrating their combined accomplishments over the decades and continue advancing the partnership to achieve profitable new heights. GPA is planning to “make some noise” at DscoopX through sponsorship, presenting, exhibiting and other fun surprises. A Dscoop Diamond Partner, GPA’s entire executive and sales teams will be at the conference to reinforce relationships with existing customers, and to build relationships with new contacts.

GPA is heading to Dscoop with its most comprehensive collection of substrates to date to help attendees differentiate their business and create profitable growth. During the conference, GPA will feature its growing line of papers, synthetics and pressure sensitive papers for HP Indigo 10000 presses. GPA will also showcase new ways to use traditional and non-traditional digital substrates to create profitable applications on HP Indigo and toner digital presses. Since many attendees have a variety of press technologies in their pressrooms, GPA will also be highlighting its diverse substrate offering for wide-format printing.

Among GPA’s featured new products is Ultra Digital 80# Translucent Text paper and Ultra Print 130# White Gloss and Satin Cover papers. GPA will have dozens of application samples on display from its digital and wide-format product offerings that attendees are invited to use to reinforce their own creative capabilities and bring new ideas to their customers.

To help DscoopX attendees create a culture where employees are inspired to go beyond the call of duty, GPA will host a Diamond Partner Session on March 5 at 1:45 p.m. called “CHALANT—Leading with a Driving Purpose.” Returning guest speaker Brad Karsh of JB Training Solutions will illustrate how all employees can take action to create a culture of excellence. He will share tips for operating with purpose and tenacity so participants can walk away empowered to boost their company morale, increase productivity and make work more fun.

GPA is proud to again be the exclusive sponsor of the Solutions Showcase Opening Reception, taking place on March 5 from 6-9 p.m. Attendees can enter GPA’s raffle during the opening reception for a chance to win a GoPro HERO3 camera by completing an entry form at GPA’s booth. The winner must be present at GPA’s booth #701 at 8 p.m. to claim the prize.

As the primary substrate sponsor for the DscoopX on-site conference guide, GPA will showcase a variety of Ultra Digital products, which includes specialty papers and boards perfect for today’s hot packaging applications.

GPA is also a Supporting Partner of the Operations Team Building and Networking Session on March 6 from 1:30-4 p.m. During the session, participants will have the chance to collaborate with peers while helping build bicycles to benefit the Boys and Girls Club.

Zünd and GPA are teaming up again to showcase the unlimited potential of pairing high-quality substrates with the most innovative cutting technology.
