Wide-format Summit releases preview of Its 2022 event program

Wide-format Summit releases preview of Its 2022 event program.

PRINTING United Alliance, the most comprehensive member-based printing and graphic arts association in the U.S., releases the first glimpse of the 2022 Wide-format Summit event program.

The Wide-format Summit is taking place July 25-27 at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. More details can be found at wideformatsummit.com

The popular Wide-format Summit features insight from industry authorities who have widespread knowledge and expertise across multiple disciplines. The unique, invitation-only hosted format provides a valuable experience for attendees to acquire knowledge from the "who's who" in the wide-format space through keynote sessions, user panels, case studies, and segment-focused breakout sessions.

Attendees will meet and learn from leading wide-format experts through a program developed by Steve Duccilli, VP of Wide-format Impressions, Denise M. Gustavson, editor-in-chief of Wide-format Impressions, and an advisory board representing some of the best minds in the wide-format market, proven thought leaders, and subject matter experts.

“It’s an interesting time in wide-format printing,” says Duccilli. “Opportunities are plentiful as vertical market segments like trade shows and live events rebound from the pandemic. Yet, the pressures on maintaining supply lines, recruiting, and retaining workers, and operating at a sufficient profit margin have never been higher. We’ll be looking very closely at both sides of the recovery in our program – the reasons that wide-format printing is poised to rebound to new heights as well as the discipline and laser focus on efficiency that businesses will need to succeed.”

Sessions at the year’s event include:

  • How the Lingering Crises Are Amplifying the Benefits of Wide-Format Printing, presented by Marco Boer, VP, IT Strategies
  • The Automation Audit: How to Identify and Streamline Your Operation’s Weakest Points, presented by Denise M. Gustavson, editorial director of NAPCO Media and co-chair, Wide-format Summit
  • To B2B or to B2C: That’s the Question in Building a Successful Digital Textile Printing Business Plan, presented by Kristen Dettoni, owner, Design Pool
  • Keeping an Eye on your Key KPIs, presented by Gustavson
  •  Who Buys Wide Format Printing, and What Do They Need from their Vendors?, presented by Lisa Cross, principal analyst, NAPCO Research
