The Graphic Communications Leadership Institute (GCLI) held their first quarterly workshop of 2024, March 6-7, in Alpharetta, Georgia where GCLI members toured HP’s Graphic Experience Center. There they saw the power of the HP industrial portfolio, including the unique HP Indigo Digital Presses and the HP PageWide Inkjet Web Press. They also heard presentations by HP executives focused on innovative technologies designed to better address clients’ ever expanding graphic communications options.

The afternoon workshop focused on Financial Management & Analysis. Each member received a custom designed workbook focusing on basic finance for non-financial managers with examples specific to the printing and graphic communications industry.

The second quarter GCLI workshop is scheduled for May, 21-23, 2024, and will feature a visit to Vivid Impact’s new facility in Phoenix, Arizona.
