The famed 2012 SGIA Expo (Las Vegas, October 18–20) is now just over two months away, and when we mention education, we’re not talking about teaching you to count cards. Take advantage of Expo education; you’ll have the chance to hear from industry experts in scheduled sessions, or attend a free presentation in the fabulous Zones on the Expo floor. And because you’ll be surrounded by industry professionals, it will be easy to discuss your newfound knowledge with colleagues, clients or your dealer at the blackjack table.

Zone Presentations
It all started with one — the Digital Apparel Production Zone. Now there are five. Whether you need more information about how to take control of your color, or hope to achieve PDAA Master Certification, SGIA’s Zones have the free educational programming for you to get the job done.

Printed Electronics & Membrane Switch Symposium
For the very first time this year, SGIA’s renowned Symposium is joining the Expo! Here, you’ll find the most comprehensive and complete educational program for this rapidly growing segment of specialty imaging, focused on: Good manufacturing processes, through-hole printing, capacitive touch keypads, and more.

Profitable Photo Opportunities
This one day conference (hosted by International Business Forum — Americas, a day before the start of the Expo) will explore the ways photo businesses, print service providers and specialty graphics providers can create new business opportunities in the professional and consumer photo markets by providing an exchange of views from across the personalized photo product value chain.

From these to the invaluable networking events, learning at the Expo extends far beyond the meeting rooms, to the casinos and the magnificent Sin City strip. The industry’s premier event is also the most indulgent. Register now for a free pass at SGIA.org, Keyword: Expo.
