The GAA is Going to Graph Expo Print ’09

Join us for the largest print expo in the Western Hemisphere!

PRINT ’09 is MyPrint

PRINT 09 became the graphic communications industry’s top international trade exhibition by producing exhibitor leads, sales and profits. It has remained number one by strategically driving in new directions. Digital printing. Creative services. Mailing and fulfillment. Wide format output. In these and other areas, PRINT 09 has understood the business model, identified the opportunities for exhibitors and customers alike, and delivered creative new solutions.

Always a powerhouse “selling” show, PRINT 09 today is also so much more. It’s a community, a place where productive partnerships are formed. Attendees won’t be at PRINT 09 just to buy, and you won’t be there just to sell. But everyone WILL be there working together to build something new – forging a creative new path into the future of the graphic communications industry.

For more information, please visit the Official Print ’09 Web Site.

The expense budget is listed below and includes the essentials to get to the expo. Please also bring money for food and any additional activities.

You will have to buy a ticket at the door if you want to attend the Expo (tickets will be approximately $55). You can pay for the rest of the trip online (below), or contact any of the E-board and pay by check. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

For orders placed online, there will be a $3.00 non-refundable processing fee.

After some serious programming, I was able to build a plugin for the GAA web site that will allow members to login using their GAA email address and password. To do this, go to the GAA Web Site login page, enter your GAA email address and password, and hit login. There is no need to register for a new account or anything of that sort. This account will be bound to your GAA email, so if you update your password in Gmail, your password will automatically be updated on the web site.

Please take the time to do this, update your profile, and add any additional information you like. We will be taking advantage of this over this next school year, so it will be important to have this setup. Thank you!

If you haven’t noticed, the GAA web site has been going under some major revisions. We have been hard at work optimizing the site to bring you more relevant content regarding our organization, our school, and our industry. Please be patient as we continue to make this huge updates, and be sure to check back often to see all of the exciting changes.

As a teaser, here are some of the features we plan on offering:

• Links to relevant industry web sites and blogs
• An online archive of any Talk Casts that we do
• Eventually, we hope to be bringing a (possibly) weekly Podcast, taking input from you for topics
• And of course, much more!
