Despite the chilly and rainy weather outside in Cleveland, Ohio, inside Cibrèo Privato the atmosphere heated up as we celebrated our Northern Region printing community! It was a delightful occasion coming together to acknowledge the achievements of our creative and dedicated PEA winners, and shining special emphasis on the outstanding accomplishments of Adam Silk, this year’s Hall of Distinction inductee. We share our many thanks to all of those who attended last night, as well as our dedicated sponsors.

We followed Alice down the Rabbit Hole, and found ourselves in a wonderland of PRINT!

We concluded our month of print celebrations last night in Ann Arbor, Michigan at the awesome Rabbit Hole venue, where every turn led you to a new vault, with new people to see and connect with.

We want to send a very special thank you to Kelly Mallozzi for sharing this evening with us and sharing her enthusiasm for the industry as well as hyping up the nearly 40 students (our future workforce!) in attendance.
