The Printerverse, June 6, 2023 - Print Media Centr announces the launch of Print Across America. Join us on October 25, 2023 to create a unified celebration of print by facilitating, fostering, and supporting open house events at print and sign shops and in-plants from coast to coast.
The Print Across America mission is to share the power of print as a viable and effective sales, marketing, and communication channel at the local level by inviting customers and prospects, university, high school, and technical program students and faculty to open house events. This initiative creates community engagement, provides education about printed products, cultivates new business opportunities, and contributes to workforce development.
Participation in Print Across America is free! The official Print Across America logo, icons, and files for marketing materials, social media and electronic communications, apparel production, signage templates, and more are posted at printacrossamerica.com and are available to download. A store to purchase swag and open house materials is in development.
"Print Across America gives print, sign shops, and in-plants a unique opportunity to open their doors and show guests the cool and amazing things we can create with print, the printing technology that makes it possible, and meet the people who make it all happen," said Deborah Corn, Intergalactic Ambassador to the Printerverse at Print Media Centr, and the founder of Print Across America.
"Participants can host an event for an hour or host an all-day event that includes design classes, a career fair, presentations about what is new in print... and more. I will share ideas for the open house events and help promote all of them - I may even attend a few!"
Printers who are members of our industry organization partners will be included in the "Find an Open House by You" directory, enabling interested attendees to locate their local open house events easily. Non-members can pay a small fee to be listed on the open house directory.
"The National Print and Sign Owners Association (NPSOA) is encouraging our 400+ members to open their doors and participate in this unique national event," said Nathaniel Grant, Chairman of NPSOA and President of GAM Graphics and Marketing.
Additional associations committed to promoting and participating in Print Across America include The Print and Graphic Communications Association (PGCA), Printing Industries of New England (PINE), the Graphic Media Alliance (GMA), the Florida Graphics Alliance (FGA), Printing Industries of MidWest (PiM), Printing Graphics Association of MidAtlantic (PGAMA), the Printing Industry of the Carolinas (PICA), In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA), International Sign Association (ISA), and the Graphics Communications Education Association (GCEA) with more joining every day.
In conjunction with Print Across America, Print Media Centr will produce a 10-hour online conference celebrating International Print Day on October 25, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET. The free conference will feature industry experts from around the world and is open for everyone to join.
