Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has announced that its October 10-12 Fall Conference, themed “Improving Today…Envisioning Tomorrow” is now open for registration. Eight sessions and more than 20 individual presentations will take place during the two-and-one-half day conference.
The sessions include: Highlights from drupa 2016; Developing Productive, Profitable Talent – A Trainer’s Guide to Success; Establishing the Starting Points: The Where’s, What’s & How’s of Setting Up a Job; Producing Results: Qualify, Quantify & Control the Production Run; Substrates & Beyond; Envisioning Tomorrow’s Pressroom; The Great Anilox Roll Debate (includes a complimentary copy of FTA’s Anilox Handling & Care guide); and Technical Innovation Winners Roundtable. Additionally, attendees will have a number of opportunities to explore a dedicated exhibitor gallery. It will feature 70 companies displaying their latest services and technologies designed to improve today’s print operations.
FTA’s Fall Conference will be staged at The Galt House Hotel, a legendary destination among hotels in downtown Louisville, KY, USA. Eric Frank, KBA-Flexotecnica and Sean Teufler, Siegwerk, will serve as chairs.
Last year’s event bested all previously held records for a Fall Conference, boasting more than 450 attendees and 69 tabletop exhibitors. The 2016 event is on track to elicit the same strong engagement between printers and their print partners.
