Learning opportunities
"During the label printer panel discussion, we're urging attendees to ask the questions they want answers to – from industry leading converters. This is a great opportunity to learn from your peers," Myers says.

The tabletop exhibits will include companies representing the full spectrum of the label printing workflow – cameras / inspection / vision systems; software; die makers; coatings; UV curing; converting & finishing; substrates & materials; cold foil; associations; press manufacturers and materials handling suppliers. 

With regard to press demonstrations, Myers says, "Innovative equipment demonstrations will include the Domino N610i 7-color digital UV inkjet label press and the Domino K600i digital UV inkjet printer – perfect for the label printer converter either using flexo and considering adding digital, or for current users of digital printing looking to take their business to the next level."

This is a one-day event duplicated over two days so attendees can choose which date works best with their schedule – either Tuesday May 23 or Wednesday May 24. Attendees can arrive the night before (for either date) to enjoy the evening receptions.
