White Stone, VA, June 2001—The Research and Engineering Council of the Graphic Arts will once again hold its annual Critical Trends Breakfast at PRINT 01, the upcoming graphic arts show in Chicago. The breakfast, to be held at 7:30 am on Saturday, September 8, 2001, at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place adjacent to the exhibition hall, will feature a review of printing technology at the international industry trade show. Speakers will include representatives of major printing companies and industry consultants, and will be moderated by an R&E Council Executive Committee member. Commenting on the breakfast, R&E Council managing director Ronald L. Mihills said: "Research and Engineering Council breakfasts at major graphic arts trade shows are regarded by industry leaders as important sources of information regarding new products. Our breakfast at GraphExpo 2000 was attended by more than 360, anxious to benefit from the timely synthesis of information we routinely provide. A portion of the proceeds from the breakfast will be donated to the Print & Graphics Scholarship Foundation—formerly the National Scholarship Trust Fund—to assist the Foundation in its Campaign for the 21st Century. Corporate sponsorships for the breakfast are available."
