From the Editor: October 2020 ENews

In a typical October, I spend too much time in airports on the way to industry conferences and tradeshows. This year, airports will have to get by without me and my tendency to spend money on celebrity magazines and overpriced snacks … but, that doesn’t mean I have to miss out on industry education.

The major industry events have gone virtual, and this means HUGE opportunities for you and your staff.

Is there only one person in your organization who usually travels to industry events? Here’s your opportunity to “send” the entire company for free. Is there a tradeshow you’re curious about, in a market you’re thinking about entering? Here’s your chance to talk with suppliers or watch educational sessions to learn more.

Two shows coming up quickly are the PRINTING United Digital Experience and PACK EXPO Connects. I’ve included more information on each of them here. And, don’t forget that content from the FSEA Online Conference (held virtually in June 2020) is available for free on-demand viewing at https://fseaconference.com/watch-now/. As always, feel free to call or email me if we can help you in any way!
