It’s hard to believe, but there is only one more week until PRINTING United Expo, taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, October 18-20.

For the final pre-show Expo newsletter, we are going to focus on Community and Networking.

First up, on Printing Impressions, we’ve got a one-on-one with PRINTING United Alliance’s new chair Dean DeMarco.

Also on Printing Impressions, we share a recent piece from Industry Consultant David Zwang, who explains that the graphic arts industries haven’t just evolved, they’ve changed.

Printing Impressions has all the details you need to know about Women in Print Alliance presence at the Expo, as well as a pre-show, FREE webinar taking place on October 12.

Moving over to the Apparel Decorator market, you do not want to miss the Apparelist Forum, which is taking place on Oct. 19 from 12-1:30 pm. If you’re a qualified apparel decorator or a printer looking to explore and expand into the apparel market, you do not want to miss it.

There are so many exciting things happening in the apparel segment, including the announcement that ROQ.US (Booth C747) will unveil four new equipment solutions at PRINTING United Expo.

Also on the show floor this year will be printing inspired beer. In-plant Impressions Editor Bob Neubauer spoke with Greg Smith, owner of Printer’s Ale Manufacturing. The company’s CMYK-branded beers will be available to try during the Expo Happy Hours (taking place end the end of each day in the Community Hubs).
