FSEA Launches (CONT’D FROM PAGE 10)
“When COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the 2020 FSEA·IADD Joint Conference, we were concerned that our association members and others in the industry would miss out on the business-impacting content we had planned,” said FSEA Executive Director Jeff Peterson. “Thanks to our amazing industry suppliers, we’ve been able to pivot to a two-day online event that is free to attendees. We believe it’s absolutely critical that the print decorating, finishing and binding industries have up-to-date information, and the 2020 FSEA Online Learning Experience will deliver.” Registration is now open and attendees can sign up for free at www.fseaconference.com . On Tuesday, June 23, and Wednesday, June 24, attendees will log in to view live and recorded webinar content. For more information, call (785) 271-5816.
