In-plant Events

This week, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association has been holding a series of webinars to present in-plants with information and advice intended for sessions at its canceled conference. It was the first chance many in-plants have had during the pandemic to see and hear from their fellow managers.

With health and safety guidelines at the forefront of planning, PRINTING United is on track as planned at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta on Oct. 21-23, 2020.

On Monday morning, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association will kick off a week-long educational webinar series featuring in-plant experts from across the country. The sessions are free to all in-plants.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the International Sign Association Board of Directors voted to cancel the ISA International Sign Expo 2020 that was re-scheduled for August 22-25, 2020. The ISA International Sign Expo will take place in Las Vegas in 2021.

thINK Ahead 2020 will shift from an in-person event to a live, virtual learning event taking place on Sept. 2, 2020. The invitation-only Inkjet 101 will take place on Sept. 1, 2020.

In the early days of the COVID-19 shutdown, when it seemed possible the pandemic might end by June, the Association of College and University Printers (ACUP+) quickly moved to postpone its March conference until the end of June. Sadly, things have not gone as many of us had hoped.

For the first time in its 55-year history, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association was forced to cancel its conference due to COVID-19. IPMA President Sherri Isbell talks about this decision and IPMA's plans to provide alternate educational and networking opportunities for in-plants.

The BindRite Dealers Association released the BindRite Virtual Trade Show, an online interactive trade show experience available on the BindRite website.

With its conference less than two months away, the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association was one of the last of the spring industry events still scheduled, in hopes that the global COVID-19 pandemic would fade away before June.
