“International Print Day comes once a year, but the impact of a successful customer, student, and community engagement can have a positive and lasting effect,” said Deborah Corn, founder of International Print Day, Print Across America, and the Intergalactic Ambassador to The Printerverse at Print Media Centr. “The #IPD23 conference provides educational and printspirational support for Print Across America open house events, and truly illustrates how ‘print connects’ all of us – even through an online conference.”
Sponsors of the International Print Day Conference and industry partners have also contributed topical content for print enthusiasts and professionals around the world. Printing files for the robust Conference Program designed by Christine Alexander, Owner, and Chief Design Nut at Creative Squirrel Studio will be made available for download on the website by October 16, and the back cover left open for printers to add their information. The program will also be converted into an interactive publication by BlueToad and shared online.
“Printers having open house events for Print Across America or wanting to share cool content with their customers and brand it to their business are encouraged to download the program files and show off their capabilities while creating more print fans in the process,” said Corn. “The interactive version will include a digital bridge to more content, videos, podcasts and information about our partners. It will also contain a message board where everyone can share a print-positive message to the industry, a link to their website, and get global exposure in the process supporting our #PrintConnects theme even further.”
