(July 16, 2008) The Printing & Imaging Association of Georgia (PIAG) has joined forces with The International Association of Diecutting and Diemaking (IADD) and the Foil Stamping and Embossing Association (FSEA) to announce the co-location of two exciting events: PrintSynergy '09 & 2009 IADD/FSEA Odyssey. These two industry-specific events are designed to deliver the value and tangible benefits that their attendees demand from their tradeshow experience.
 
PrintSynergy cuts across many niche areas of traditional and digital print and marketing processes including variable data print, cross media marketing, wide format, mailing & fulfillment, label printing, and package printing, too. Individuals interested in diecutting, diemaking, foil stamping and embossing will have the added benefit of IADD/FSEA Odyssey, a very targeted event taking place in the same location a few days earlier and overlapping on Friday.
 
PrintSynergy attendees interested in Odyssey niches are encouraged to come a few days early and will be granted complimentary admission to the Odyssey expo floor with their PrintSynergy badge. Similarly, Odyssey attendees should plan to stay an extra day or two to visit the PrintSynergy expo floor free of charge with their Odyssey badge.
 
All attendees will have the cross-opportunities to explore the latest technologies, discover answers to operational challenges, and learn valuable business strategies for market expansion and diversity.
 
Scheduled to take place at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, PrintSynergy (May 7-9, 2009) & the 2009 IADD/FSEA Odyssey (May 6-8, 2009) will each house an exhibit hall with fully operational machinery, a series of educational sessions, and real networking opportunities – all in one centralized, convenient location.
 
"PrintSynergy is all about bringing printers, marketing executives and creatives together. To be able to add to their experience by partnering with 2009 IADD/FSEA Odyssey is the icing on the cake," states PIAG President Rachel Ann Shattah. IADD CEO Cindy Crouse agrees, saying, "Co-location with PrintSynergy greatly enhances Odyssey's value to both attendees and exhibitors. The expansion of targeted information, education, networking, and buying - consolidated into one energy-packed location - saves time and money, while affording an explosion of industry goods and services all under one roof."
