What a Difference a Year Makes

Maybe the only good thing about tough times is seeing them fade away. While the marketplace isn’t going to bounce back to pre-recession levels, at the 2009 SGIA Expo we took a very positive step toward future success. I believe I can safely say for all concerned — it felt really good.

The Expo floor was filled with new technology and creative applications, which are just the tools graphic producers need to maximize opportunities in a competitive marketplace. Confidence is the word I would use to describe the buzz on the show floor. Attendees and exhibitors are looking ahead and building for the future.

The overwhelming success of the 2009 SGIA Expo will help the community continue on a path of positive business development through the fourth quarter and into 2010.

I want to thank all of the exhibitors who put such a great effort in to this event. And I want to thank the attendees who are leading the way to success in tomorrow’s marketplace.
