2018 SGIA Expo to Feature Robust Educational Program

In addition to hosting more than 500 exhibitors, the 2018 SGIA Expo (Oct. 18–20, Las Vegas) will take an in-depth look at the latest printing technologies, applications and opportunities through its 72-session educational program.

With the Expo + Education Pass, attendees will have access to the array of educational sessions, designated by tracks that indicate content specific to industry segments and areas of crossover.

"Staying competitive in today's printing industry requires strong industry-specific knowledge," said Dan Marx, Director of Content Development, SGIA. "The educational programming at this year's SGIA Expo has essential, up-to-the-minute information for printing businesses seeking to reinforce their current plans, or launch their businesses toward new, profitable opportunities. With the Expo + Education Pass, attendees can receive top-quality information at a bottom-line-friendly price."

Among the educational sessions at the 2018 SGIA Expo are:

• 60 Minute Print Sales Boot Camp
  Peter Ebner, Ebner Seminars
• Digital Textile Committee Panel: Where are We with Digital Textile Today?
  Michael Sanders, Top Value Fabrics
• Price It Right - How to Maximize Margins and Make Money
  Vince DiCecco, Your Personal Business Trainer Inc.
• Turn Your Team into a Championship Team: Hiring, Training, Management, Motivation and Retention
  David Fellman, David Fellman & Associates

“There’s an old saying about only being as strong as your weakest link. I’m going to talk about identifying those weaknesses, and then doing something about them," said Fellman. "There’s no snap-your-fingers solution to staffing challenges, of course, but this session will teach attendees how to create an improvement plan, including timelines and benchmarks, that will put them in better HR shape than they're probably in now.”

The Expo + Education Pass is free for SGIA members and, for a limited time, $99 for nonmembers. Attendees can also participate in two pre-Expo half-day sessions - "Essential Small Business Strategies" and "Wide-Format 101: Essential Skills for Success" - for which separate registration and fees are required.

The 2018 SGIA Expo will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. For more information and to register, visit sgia.org/expo.
