Being a veteran attendee or exhibitor at more than half-dozen Graphics of the Americas shows, I find it to be a unique venue. Very international, GOA is really a mecca for Latin Americans looking for the best and newest products for graphic arts. It’s not just the groovy art deco hotels, the lure of latex-paint-thick Cuban coffee, or the magical Miami warm weather that attracts visitors to this show. The quality of the partners, both attendee and exhibitor, as well as an opportunity to connect with new markets located on a common continent makes GOA a very special place.

Celebrating it's 27th Anniversary, Graphics of the Americas bills itself as the second largest graphic arts show in America. According to statistics amassed by GAIN:
- 92.7% of GOA attendees are involved in purchase decision making.
- 97.9% of GOA attendees were "satisfied-to-very-satisfied" with the overall Graphics of the Americas.
- Buyers express time well spent at a beneficial show.
- 96.7% of GOA visitors will attend again.
And, what good are statistics without opinions? Well, 97% of GOA exhibitors rate the buyers "qualified to extremely qualified", and the overwhelming majority - 96.2% plan to exhibit again. Simply put, GOA is a cost effective place to do business.

In anticipation of another highly successful GOA show, WhatTheyThink.com is pleased to bring you the following directory of GOA vendors, with a snapshot of what will be featured in their booths. The following information is the latest available as supplied by the various companies listed.
