What motivates you to attend this year’s PRINTING United Expo?
Myself and the Texas Nameplate team are always excited to see new equipment and technology. At Printing United Expo, its all under one roof. Additionally, we are looking forward to learning best practices with AI.
If you’re a first-time attendee, what are you hoping to learn. If you’re returning, what brings you back?
Again, seeing new equipment and technology brings us back. Coupled with being able to meet with numerous current suppliers all in a short time is valuable to us.
Which products, brands, or services are you most looking forward to seeing this year?
We are most looking forward to all discussions regarding AI specifically how it can best be used in print manufacturing.
How do you plan to maximize your time at the Expo?
I like to spend one day meeting with current and potential new suppliers. Then, probably my favorite day, is to not have anything scheduled and just walk the show. We have come across important pieces of equipment at PRINTING United by just by having a curious mind and seeing it in action at the Expo.
How do you think attending the Expo will impact your business or career?
I fully expect to come home with a new piece of equipment, a new product, or even a new thought process/learning. PRINTING United Expo has always makes us better somehow, and for that reason, we won’t miss it.
