PRINTING United is the largest printing event in North America, bringing all printing industry segments together under one roof.

Finding, hiring, and retaining new talent is a challenge for all businesses, but can be especially difficult in manufacturing industries like printing. We desire technical and specialized skills in our employees, which seem to be increasingly difficult to find. Additionally, we have a perception problem with young people and their parents-they think the printing industry is contracting and that career opportunities are scarce. In this session, Donna Painter an Assistant Professor at Millersville University, will share information about hiring challenges and strategies to positively change perceptions of our industry. This session will also identify multiple sources, within the education sector, that you can use to find the types new talent you need to sustain and grow your business.

With the new warning regulations coming into effect last August, questions still exist regarding Prop 65 and how it applies to our inks, coatings, substrates and products!  Do you need to certify for Prop 65?  What testing needs to be done?  When do I have to label?  On top of this, citizen suits continue to rise!  Join us for a lively discussion on these and other issues surrounding Prop 65 compliance!
