FAIRFAX, Va. - March 12, 2018 - PRINT United confirms five more independent regional and state affiliates of Printing Industries of America (PIA) have agreed to support and promote the launch of the PRINT United Expo to their respective members. With this addition to previously reported participating associations, a total of 15 PIA affiliates are now supporting the new trade show hosted by the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) in partnership with NAPCO Media, which will launch in Dallas in October 2019.
Pacific Printing Industries Association (PPI), Print Media Association of St. Louis (PMA), Printing and Graphics Association Mid-Atlantic (PGAMA), Printing Industries of New England (PINE) and The Printing Industry of the Carolinas (PICA) are the latest commercial printing industry associations lending their support to PRINT United.
“Our print members are always exploring different options to expand their offerings to customers,” said Christine Hagopian, President, PINE. “It’s extremely valuable to provide an opportunity where they can evaluate capital investments in one location, with vendors who understand their needs and who genuinely want to see their companies succeed in this industry.”
The PRINT United Expo is designed to give print service providers new ways to address changes that are occurring within the graphic arts marketplace. In addition to finding relevance in the convergence of various market segments, the associations recognize the importance of the wide breadth of technologies that will be on display at PRINT United. As such, their support will begin this year with the SGIA Expo in Las Vegas, which will be held October 18–20.
