What’s your favorite industry event?

When we wrap up this month’s issue, my focus will shift toward travel. The day after these pages are sent to the printer, I’ll make my way a whole 12 miles from my home office to DAX Twin Cities, the last Decorated Apparel Expo of the year. It’s a significant trip for me not only because it’s my first DAX show, but it’s also my first industry trade show I’ve been able to attend personally since Impressions Expo Long Beach back in January. Eight months is a long time without a trade show in my line of work.

Since our own show, GRAPHICS PRO EXPO, was discontinued in April, we’ve been looking at new ways in which we can cover other industry events to still bring our readers an elevated level of coverage of new and updated products, techniques, and strategies that will help keep you at the top of your game. That said, you’ll find an article titled, “10 things to see at PRINTING United Expo” on page 11 of this issue.

On page 8, you’ll see upcoming events listed in our Industry Updates section. Some of those we’ll attend in person, and others we’ll preview in print, online, or both. If you have an event coming up that you think GRAPHICS PRO readers need to know about, please send it our way to gpeditorial@cahabamedia.com, and we’ll do our best to spread the word.

As always, thanks for reading. See you at the trade shows!
