Wide Format Imaging

Mark your calendars: SGIA '08 (Atlanta; October 15–18). The Expo website is live, offering complete SGIA '08 details and online registration.

SGIA'08 unites the international specialty imaging community for technology and application demonstrations, educational opportunities, and networking—whether it's on the Expo floor, in one of 50+ educational sessions or at the excellent social events rounding out the exposition.

"SGIA understands the challenge of today's fast-paced business environment, which is why the Atlanta Expo will be a one-stop educational resource and marketplace for the progressive imager," SGIA President/CEO Michael Robertson said. "The Innovation Nation will come together for three and a half days of creative inspiration."

This year, imagers will know they're in for something huge as soon as they walk through the doors of the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. SGIA has partnered with the Professional Decal Application Association (PDAA), giving attendees the opportunity to observe the event, which showcases the best techniques and practices for flawless vehicle wraps. And imagers can learn about entering a new market using apparel decoration at SGIA's sales-free Digital Apparel Production Zone.

The Expo also will feature two keynoters: Doug Tatum, author of "No Man's Land," and Bo Burlingham, author of "Small Giants: Companies that Choose to be Great Instead of Big," who will take center stage at SGIA '08 to discuss the idea of No Man's Land—that tricky spot where your company is too big to be considered small, and too small to be considered big—as well as how to focus on more satisfying business goals.
