CHICAGO—Don't miss your opportunity to hobnob with the stars of the printing industry during GRAPH EXPO 14 on Monday evening, Sept. 29, when the show closes at 5 pm. Complete with a lengthy, open-bar cocktail reception featuring a live jazz quartet to allow ample networking opportunities, followed by a star-studded awards gala and sit-down dinner, the Gold Ink Awards & Printing Industry Hall of Fame Gala has often been referred to by past attendees as the "Academy Awards" event of the printing industry.

Budington is young in CEO years but, at 45, he has catapulted his way through the ranks at Alexandria, VA-based Global Printing.
