PRINTING United is a brand-new event and joint-venture, co-owned by SGIA and NAPCO Media, and it will launch in Dallas, Texas, October 23–25, 2019. PRINTING United will focus on the opportunities presented by the convergence of printing technologies and markets. PRINTING United will have a broader range of printing and finishing technologies and media on the Expo floor, covering industry segments from garment to graphic, packaging to commercial, and industrial. The objective of PRINTING United is to convey all the components of an integrated solution to satisfy virtually any client need. “PRINTING United is a strategic response to what the industry has been asking for,” said Ford Bowers, CEO and President, SGIA. “It's about the wealth of opportunities for printers and suppliers that result from the convergence of markets and technology.” “Our partnership truly creates a new platform, which helps attendees, suppliers, and channels to connect in a way that’s not been possible before,” said Mark Subers, President/CRO – Printing & Packaging, Publishing, NAPCO Media. “It’s this integrated approach — offering access to all printing technologies in one place — which suppliers will find not just compelling, but absolutely necessary to reach print service providers in the graphic and visual communications industry.” The SGIA Expo will retire after its 2018 event in Las Vegas.
