Sydney prepares for PrintEx11

Countdown begins for next year’s print trade show, PrintEx.

The show, which takes place every four years, is presented by the Graphic Arts Merchants Association of Australia (GAMAA) and Printing Industries Association of Australia (PIAA) as a complement to the Melbourne-staged PacPrint, which also takes places every four years

The PrintEx11 Board is comprised of GAMAA representatives Mitchell Mulligan (chairman), Ian Martin, Livio Barbagello and Craig Heckenberg, together with representatives from PIAA, Chris Segaert, Peter Carrigan and Susan Heaney.

PrintEx07 attracted a crowd of 11,087 trade visits over the three days. According to Mitchell Mulligan, (pictured) chairman of PrintEx11, next year’s event is already shaping up to be an interesting show. “The Board of PrintEx11 is working together to present a dynamic event which serves the ever-evolving needs of the graphic arts, print and communications industry. With new technologies and equipment coming so rapidly into the marketplace, PrintEx11 fills a vital role as a major opportunity to showcase products and educate on new initiatives,” he said. “Furthermore, the PrintEx Board is determined that the 2011 event will drive a positive shift in business and consumer perception of the value of print to society.”

PrintEx11 will take place in Halls 1, 2 & 3, Sydney Convention & Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour from Wednesday 4 May to Friday 6 May 2011.
