PacPrint 05 to share in the gold
Now everyone who attends next year’s PacPrint ’05, the industry’s largest trade exhibition held in Melbourne in May, will be able to share in the ‘goald’ with the announcement that the 22nd National Print Awards (NPA) will be held in the same city at the same time.
The chairman of the PacPrint ‘05 Board, Ron Patterson, (pictured) and the chairman of the National Print Awards, Alf Carrigan, jointly announced the timing of the events.
The board of PacPrint ‘05, in conjunction with the board of the National Print Awards, is pleased to confirm that the 2005 Awards ceremony and dinner will be held during PacPrint ’05, they wrote in a statement. This is the first time the Awards have been held during PacPrint and we are collectively very excited about the inclusion of this important event for the industry in the PacPrint calendar.
In addition to the Awards ceremony and dinner, visitors to PacPrint will be able to view entries from all finalists in an unprecedented display to be mounted within the exhibition, further promoting the impressive capabilities of the Australian industry.
Alf Carrigan, Chairman of the NPA confirmed that initial response from the industry to host the Awards during PacPrint was very positive, with early indicators pointing to an increase in attendance.
“Working closely with the PacPrint Board will clearly add value to both our event and to the exhibition. Given that the 22nd Awards are to be hosted in Melbourne, and PacPrint is the biggest event of its kind for our industry, it makes perfect sense to bring these two respected industry events together.”
The National Print Awards will be held on Wednesday 25th May, 2005 at the Crown Casino.
PacPrint ‘05 will be held at the Melbourne Exhibition & Convention Centre Tuesday 24th to Saturday 28th May, 2005.
