FULL STORYSpecialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA), Fairfax, Va. recently hosted its annual Congress of Committees in Phoenix on Jan. 7-8.
Representatives from across the printing industry met to discuss strategies, trends and opportunities for 2020.
Each January, SGIA’s collective committees and advisory councils come together during the two-day event to brainstorm and discuss pressing industry issues and offer essential knowledge and guidance to help steer initiatives to support both the association and the printing industry at large, according to the association. Committees then collaborate remotely on said discussions throughout the year.
“We are at a pivotal time, both at SGIA and in the industry as a whole,” says Ford Bowers, president and CEO, SGIA. “Congress of Committees is always an invigorating start to the new year, where some of the brightest minds in the industry share their experiences, customer needs and demands, and the current state of the industry, as it pertains to their marketplace. As each industry vertical has its own unique set of challenges and opportunities, we rely heavily on the expertise of our valued committee and advisory council members to be our eyes and ears in day-to-day business. Their ability to help navigate these areas, and where resources should further be applied, is invaluable.”
