Early Commitments Promise Wide Array of Equipment Running on the Techshop Floor 

Topeka, KS – Great things will happen when “Innovation and Tradition Converge” at the 2015 IADD·FSEA Odyssey, May 13-15, 2015. The tradeshow, featuring diecutting/diemaking, foil stamping and other specialty effects, will be held at the Renaissance Convention Center, Schaumburg, IL, USA. 

Show management reports exhibit space is filling fast as suppliers of a vast array of services, products and equipment targeted specifically to the fields of diecutting/diemaking, print finishing, folding carton, corrugated and specialty markets reserve booth space. “With 11 months before the Odyssey show floor opens, we already have indicators that more equipment will be operating on the show floor than in previous years,” explained Darrel Griffin, IADD President and Co-Chair of the Odyssey planning task force. 

In fact, some exhibitors also are requesting larger booth spaces than in previous years, including Gerber Innovations, which has doubled its square footage over the company’s exhibit space during the 2013 Odyssey. 

“Gerber has increased our booth size for the 2015 Odyssey based on the strong return on investment experienced from Odyssey 2013,” said Steven Gore, president. “We have exhibited at every Odyssey show and have never been disappointed with the results.”

The 2015 Odyssey has confirmed the attendance of industry leaders such as AmeriKen Die Supply, Carton Craft Supply, Serviform, Bobst North America, Brandtjen & Kluge and Adams Technologies. In addition, early Techshop commitments reveal that equipment will be on site from Associated Pacific Machine Corp., Gerber Innovations, Preco, Inc. and Marbach. The Odyssey's one-of-a-kind Techshop environment simulates a working production shop floor where technical sessions are taught on-press throughout the three-day event. This educational venue is unlike any other in North America, as attendees discover practical solutions to everyday challenges from press operators who are experts in their field.
