What made you decide to attend this year's Expo?  

Lewis: I’m looking for additional equipment that will reduce the number of hours spent on manual processes or outsourcing parts of a job.

What products, brands, or services are you most looking forward to seeing? 

The wide-format flatbed printer and cutter options, but I really look forward to seeing all the new equipment in one space.

Why is attending the Expo better than going to a vendor’s demo center to see equipment? 

Seeing what your peers are interested in and listening to questions and comments about vendor equipment. Also, less time away from the shop with everything in one location.

How do you hope attending the Expo will impact your business/career moving forward? 

1. I am hoping to find equipment that I can recommend to purchase
2. Staying informed of what the industry is doing and where they are going helps me make better and quicker decision when I have to consider new services or equipment.

Watch for more pre-show coverage in the weeks to come.
