Weeklong series makes timely critical resources and technology information available to the industry

Last year, following the cancellation or postponement of industry events, WhatTheyThink launched its Technology Outlook Week, five Webinars designed to serve as a virtual platform for suppliers to the industry to get their messages out, and for producers to more easily stay up-to-date with the latest technology announcements as they plan for the future of their businesses.

Day Four of Technology Outlook Week—Thursday, May 20, at 1 pm ET, focuses on wide format & signage and textiles and apparel. Wide-format printing was the saving grace of many print businesses during the pandemic year, as many were able to transition to new signage applications. At the same time, the pandemic disrupted the textile and apparel supply chain and highlighted ways that the fashion industry needs to clean up its act. What does 2021 look like for these two sectors in terms of both trends and technologies? Join Richard Romano and Cary Sherburne as they highlight the latest technology and product announcements from manufacturers of wide-format printing and finishing, signage, and apparel solutions. Get the lowdown on new features, capabilities, and applications that can give your business a competitive edge.
