The Association for Print Technologies (formerly known as NPES) has announced the date for its annual printing conference, PRINT. PRINT 18 will be held from September 30 – October 2, 2018 at the McCormick Place convention center in Chicago. This year’s keynote speaker is entrepreneur and best-selling author Seth Godin.

Attended by printing professionals and vendors, the conference (which alternated between called PRINT and Graph Expo) is designed to bring “the boldest and brightest innovators, influencers, and newest technology together to create connections that showcase and advance” the printing industry. Over 22,000 people attended last year’s conference.

This year’s conference, which will be shortened from four days to three, will include a career fair. It will also have 80 education sessions, with over 50 sessions focused on business growth. “This year, we want to focus our efforts on the ‘how’ because we measure our success on if our attendees can grow their business,” said Thayer Long, president of the Association for Print Technologies.
