In-plant Events

While in Rochester and Orlando recently, I made time to visit four in-plants at Lockheed Martin, Rochester and Osceola School Districts, and RIT to see what was happening in their shops.

IPI Editor Bob Neubauer was taken by surprise Wednesday night during the ACUP+ Awards ceremony when he was called to the stage to join the prestigious ACUP Hall of Fame. He has covered the association’s conferences for 30 years.

At Wednesday night’s ACUP+ Awards ceremony, Yale University and Bucknell University were the top winners, with Iowa State and Oregon State close behind.

On Sunday evening, more than 80 college, university, and K-12 in-plants will gather in Rochester, New York, for the opening reception of the Association of College & University Printers conference.

Taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sept. 10-12, PRINTING United Expo will be home to more than 600 exhibitors showcasing the most innovative printing technologies.

Oregon State University Printing & Mailing Services recently held an open house that brought about 250 faculty and staff into the in-plant. The event included a guided tour, a look at the new inkjet press, food, giveaways, and prize drawings.

This week in Düsseldorf, Germany, 18 graphic arts vendors announced new products and dropped hints about what they will reveal at drupa 2024, which will take place May 28-June 7.
