BOHEMIA, NY—FTA’s annual title conference, FORUM 2023, returns with the theme “Tradition Reimagined.” The four-day technical conference takes place April 16-19 at the Hilton Columbus Downtown in Columbus, Ohio. Registration has been opened for the event, with more information at forum.flexography.org. In tandem with the conference, attendees will have the chance to network, learn, and discover the latest in products and services at INFOFLEX 2023. The 41st iteration of the exhibit will take place on April 17-18, boasting 180 exhibitors over 25,000 square feet at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

Following an industry-changing Fall Conference 2022 and sold-out INFOFLEX at Fall Conference, FTA is eager to welcome members, partners and industry professionals to Columbus for FORUM & INFOFLEX 2023. The theme, “Tradition Reimagined,” calls upon the deep-rooted traditions of package printing alongside the rapid change in technologies.

"As my first FORUM and INFOFLEX as FTA president, I cannot wait to connect with members and prospective members, colleagues, friends and partners alike at our flagship event," said FTA President Robb Frimming. "Covering the entire flexographic workflow, the FORUM 2023 committee, made up entirely of volunteers, and the FTA team have created a stellar agenda for 2023. I truly believe this conference and exhibition are must-attend events for not only printers and CPCs but anyone with a stake in the flexographic or package printing world."

The conference will feature nine educational sessions covering the latest package printing technological advances and business practices, alongside deep dives into color, the future of flexography and more.

Included with registration is access to INFOFLEX 2023, which will offer an expanded exhibition where 180 exhibitors are expected. With the tagline “Building on the Future,” attendees will have ample opportunity to explore the products and services of tomorrow from FTA’s many valued business partners. With 75 percent of the show floor sold, FTA encourages prospective exhibitors to sign up as soon as possible by reaching out to Director of Membership & Business Development Jay Kaible, at [email protected] or by phone 631-737-6020 ext. 120.
