SGIA has signed on as a sponsor of Smithers-Pira’s Digital Print for Packaging US 2017 (DPP) conference (Atlanta, June 6–7, 2017). SGIA President CEO Ford Bowers has accepted a spot on the DPP Advisory Board.

The DPP sponsorship supports SGIA’s mission to be the foremost resource for information and education within the specialty imaging industry, Bowers noted.

“SGIA and its members were early adopters and champions of digital printing technology and techniques,” he said. “Our sponsorship of DPP will help expand knowledge and understanding at this critical time of technical change.”

DPP is the only US conference focused exclusively on bringing together digital print for packaging insiders to develop the ideas and capitalize on relationships needed to thrive in this fast-moving market. Hailed as the “must-attend” event for brand owners, converters, printing equipment suppliers and packaging designers, attendees include everyone from International Paper to Target, Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo and Hewlett Packard.

“We’re pleased to play a role in fostering the growth of digital printing in packaging applications and to help packaging printers and converters manage the coming changes,” Bowers said.
