Show Preview: GRAPH EXPO’s Growing Role

Ralph Nappi has heard all the whispers and not-so-low murmurs regarding the state of GRAPH EXPO. The president of the Graphic Arts Show Co. (GASC), which produces the GRAPH EXPO and PRINT shows, endured the pain of a 2010 show without showcase heavy-
hitters Heidelberg and Komori (which opted out instead of scaling back their presence; both return this year). Nappi knows that there is strength in numbers and sees the value of making this country's premier annual print show a Mecca for its membership, a Must See 'em pilgrimage in its own right.
