The very popular ‘Ask the Ex- perts’ one-on-one consulting sessions will also be ex- panding to new verticals.” The committee also approved the initiative to cre- ate strong, new partnerships with regional and local organizations whose members include professionals in manufacturing, converting, packaging, plastics, coatings, and textiles/nonwovens industries. These partnerships will promote the benefits of attending and exhibiting at ICE USA to the organization’s mem- bers to explore new solutions, technology, and ma- chinery for those who convert and process flexible web-based materials. ICE USA will again be co-located with InPrint USA, the Industrial Print Show, in 2019. InPrint USA connects and educates manufacturers who use print as a key compo- nent of the manufacturing process.
