The annual title conference of the Flexographic Technical Association (FTA), FORUM 2023, returns with the theme “Tradition Reimagined” on April 16-19 at the Hilton Colum- bus Downtown in Columbus, Ohio. Registration for the four-day technical conference is open with more information available at forum.flexogra- phy.org. In tandem with the conference, attendees will have the chance to network, learn, and discover the latest in products and services at INFOFLEX 2023. The 41st iter- ation of the exhibit will take place on April 17-18, boasting 180 exhibitors over 25,000 square feet at the Greater Co- lumbus Convention Center. Following an industry-changing Fall Conference 2022 and sold-out INFOFLEX at Fall Conference, FTA is eager to welcome members, partners and industry professionals to Columbus. The “Tradition Reimagined” theme calls upon the deep-rooted traditions of package printing alongside the rapid change in technologies. "As my first FORUM and INFOFLEX as FTA president, I cannot wait to connect with members and prospective members, colleagues, friends and partners alike at our flagship event," said FTA President Robb Frimming. "Cov- ering the entire flexographic workflow, the FORUM 2023 committee, made up entirely of volunteers, and the FTA team have created a stellar agenda for 2023. I truly believe this conference and exhibition are must-attend events for not only printers and CPCs but anyone with a stake in the flexographic or package printing world." Included with registration is access to INFOFLEX 2023, which will offer an expanded exhibition where 180 exhib- itors are expected. With the tagline “Building on the Fu- ture,” attendees will have ample opportunity to explore the products and services of tomorrow from FTA’s many valued business partners. With 75 percent of the show floor sold, FTA encour- ages prospective exhibitors to sign up as soon as possi- ble by reaching out to Director of Membership & Business Development Jay Kaible at jkaible@flexography.org or by phone (631) 737-6020 ext. 120.
