CLEVELAND, OHIO - Digital Print Solutions (DPS), Cleveland, Ohio, has announced the acquisition of the Americas Print Show (APS), ushering in a new era for print and graphics events. Effective immediately, DPS will assume reins of the 2024 show, which will be May 8-9, 2024, at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland.

In a transformative move, the Americas Print Show 2024 will transition to an invitation-only format for exhibitors. This strategic shift ensures attendees will have exclusive access to network with industry giants such as Canon, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Duplo, Xante, and more.

New to the show is the recently announced inaugural PrintSmart Summit, May 7, 2024. Led by a partnership between DPS and Conduit Inc., and sponsored by MindFire Inc., the summit will delve into the benefits and risks of AI in the print and graphics industries, providing insights into current artificial intelligence (AI) applications and technology. Presenters include The Marketing AI Institute, IBM, Google, Panda Data, and more.

Additionally, Deborah Corn from Print Media Centr will produce and host an all-day Girls Who Print Conference, on Wednesday, May 8, complemented by a Girls Who Print luncheon on Thursday, May 9.

Adam Silk, CEO of Digital Print Solutions, says that in an era where trade shows transcend equipment displays, the Americas Print Show is committed to creating a truly immersive experience. “Our expertise lies in making each of our commercial print customers financially stronger while providing them avenues for growth. The evolution of the PrintSmart Summit, coupled with a selective invitation-only trade show featuring leading technology companies and AI innovators, sets us apart from traditional equipment-focused trade shows.”
