SGIA '06 Breaking Records, Largest Expo Ever

Fairfax, Virginia -- It's official. SGIA '06 (Las Vegas, September 26-29) is going to be huge -- it's already broken Association records for the most exhibitors at an Expo.

"We have 582 exhibitors, and more signing up every day. Plus, we're expecting about 17,000 people on site. This is the biggest Expo floor we've ever had," said SGIA Vice President, Conventions & Conferences, Sylvia Hall. "The last time we came close to a number like this was SGIA 2000, with just over 500 exhibitors."

It's an exciting time to be in specialty graphics, said SGIA CEO/President Michael Robertson.

"We've definitely entered our industry's Age of Innovation. Fresh, new capabilities push the community forward with added customization that defies commoditization and brings with it new ideas for profitable printing."

Robertson noted the Expo's standing as a launch pad for new products, too. "Every day, exhibitors tell us about the new releases they'll debut at SGIA '06 -- some are upgrades, some are tweaks on existing models and some are brand new. They know SGIA `06 is the place to unveil their latest and greatest products."

"It's an exciting time to be a specialty imager, and SGIA '06 will capture that excitement, especially being in Las Vegas. We'll showcase applications, equipment, consumables and markets for graphics, garments and just about any market in between."
