This week on Wide-Format Weekly, be sure to check out the latest episode of The Broadcast which covered the promo opportunity for wide-format PSPs; Lane Kathryn Hickey-Wiggins shares what it’s like being a woman president and CEO; HP has introduced the Latex R530; and we get an inside scoop on how Super Bowl graphics come to life.

This week's episode highlights what it takes to handle graphics for the Super Bowl, a Quebec company on the move, training and installation for graphics installers, finding partners for apparel decoration, and celebrating women in the printing industry.
