FLAG Offers Coronavirus Contingency Plan

Global PrintExpo Launches As Fully Virtual Exhibition Resolve Business Management (RBM) – 30th March 2020: Resolve Business Management has today an- nounced the launch of Global PrintExpo - the world’s first Virtual Exhibition and conference facility for the printing industry. In developing this creative and in- novative concept, Show Directors Wayne Beckett and Chris Watson of RBM have utilised their long standing technical experience managing cloud based products as well as expertise in running large-scale printing in- dustry exhibitions. The show will open in June 2020. Beckett comments “We believe this is clearly the right time to launch a virtual print show, not just be- cause of the present restrictions in attending physical trade shows which will be in place for some time, but also because of the sustainability advantages and easier accessibility for visitors. We know that a lot of compa- nies are geared up for new product launches later this year and with no current trade shows, this will have a massive impact on their businesses. Global PrintExpo is designed to give suppliers a regular stream of enqui- ries throughout the year and their stand URL’s can also be used for advertising and marketing opportunities outside of the exhibition.”

The Flexo Label Advantage Group (FLAG) has been closely tracking the recent outbreak and spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus). In response to the uncer- tainty coronavirus is causing for businesses, employ- ees and customers, FLAG has made a host of solutions available to members. In an effort to support its members, FLAG will be organizing and publishing a list of members that opt-in to participate in a COVID-19 support group. Participa- tion in this group will simply require a commitment to supporting other FLAG members if needed due to po- tential unforeseen impacts of coronavirus. Participat- ing will allow those members to communicate a plan of action to their customers. FLAG has instituted this contingency plan as a proactive step in preparation. A new post, titled“Coronavirus Support Group - Mem- ber Resource,” has been added to the Member Connec- tions area of FLAG’s website, located under the “PLAN” section, which will host all participating members and their contact information. Those interested in partici- pating in the support group can contact FLAG. Partic- ipants may also add their company name and location, point of contact and title, email and phone number to the newly created topic listed on Member Connections.
