Fairfax, Virginia - The global specialty imaging community is gearing up to convene at SGIA's 2011 Expo in New Orleans, October 19-21. The main feature is the not-to-be-missed, expansive trade show floor packed with the industry's best suppliers, manufacturers and distributors showing their most innovative products.

"The SGIA Expo is the North American gateway to the global imaging marketplace," said Michael Robertson, SGIA's President and CEO. "It's the best place to go to learn about and stay ahead of this expanding industry."

The Expo - the only event in North America representing the full range of specialty imaging technology - is the community's premier marketplace complete with expert advice zones, educational sessions and networking receptions.

"This SGIA Expo has been the best show I've been to this year. I really enjoyed attending the live demos," said 2010 Expo attendee Dell Ware of Custom Creations.

"The [2010] Expo exceeded our wildest expectations," said Charles Grace of EFI, a platinum sponsor of the 2011 SGIA Expo. "It has been by far our most successful show of the year."
