PRINTING United Expo is next month (Sept. 10-12, Las Vegas). There is still time to register, and for members of PRINTING United Alliance, there are some pretty sweet perks when you register to attend the Expo. Don't worry if you're not yet a member, when you register, you can sign up to become one (or you can register to become a member now by clicking this link).
Here are six super-sweet perks for members who register to attend the Expo:
1. You can snag an Expo pass for free
Members of PRINTING United Alliance get complimentary Expo passes. Explore the extensive trade show floor, witness the latest technological advancements, and interact with leading vendors without paying an extra fee. Take the money you save on registration and buy some food and (lots of) coffee to keep you energized while you walk around the million-plus square foot event.
2. Access to comprehensive education
For those who aren't members, attending the dozens of in-depth educational sessions at the Expo requires an additional fee. For members? It's free. These sessions are designed to provide in-depth knowledge on various aspects of the printing industry, ranging from technical innovations to business strategies. Learning directly from industry experts helps members stay ahead of the curve and implement best practices in their own operations.
3. Skip the long lines at registration
If you've attended the Expo in the past, you'll know lines at the registration desk can become lengthy. Skip the wait and navigate registration like a pro by heading over to the members-only registration line. This exclusive perk ensures a quicker and more efficient check-in process, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the Expo rather than waiting in line. This express service reflects the organization’s commitment to providing a premium experience for its members.
4. Take a load off in the Member Lounge
Taking in all the Expo has to offer can be tiring. Take advantage of the exclusive Member Lounge, which offers a a comfortable and relaxing environment to kick back, grab some snacks, refreshments, and essential amenities. The lounge also provides an excellent opportunity to network with other members and industry leaders in a more informal setting.
5. Meet with subject matter experts 1:1
Head over to the Membership booth where members can learn about the year-round benefits and programs available through the PRINTING United Alliance. It’s also a place to schedule on-site meetings with subject matter experts. These meetings provide personalized advice and insights, helping you to maximize the benefits of your membership and stay informed about the latest industry trends.
6. Relax knowing you have special seating during the Keynote presentations
The Keynote presentations are always hot sessions that fill up quickly. Members will fret not knowing there is reserved seating just for them during the Keynote presentations. Having reserved seating means you won’t miss out on these valuable sessions, allowing you to fully engage with the content and the speakers.
