PRINT 09 Announces Media Days for Industry Editors

RESTON, VA—March 16, 2009—The Graphic Arts Show Company (GASC) today announced the launch of PRINT 09 Media Days, to be held June 16-17, 2009 in Chicago, IL, in advance of the global PRINT 09 trade show and conference. PRINT 09, coming to Chicago’s McCormick Place September 11-16, 2009, is the year’s largest and most comprehensive graphic communications trade show and conference. The six-day, “myPRINT” themed trade show—customized this year to provide a personalized show experience for commercial printers and attendees from nine other key market segments—will fill McCormick Place North and South with the latest technologies for the commercial print, publishing, package printing and high-volume transactional output industry, and more.

PRINT 09 Media Days is a pre-show marketing and public relations opportunity for participating exhibitors to deliver their new product introductions and announcements directly to print industry editors to gain accurate and significant pre-show coverage in the months leading up to the event—and engage prospects in the sales process well before the show opens.

Ralph Nappi, President of GASC stated, “This is a significant opportunity for PRINT 09 exhibitors to engage editors early on to benefit from their help in driving serious, better informed prospects to their booths in September—prospects who are one step closer to making purchasing decisions.”
