2024 Print Week Event Recaps
Southern
What an extraordinary start to our Print Week celebrations! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who joined us last night at our Southern Region Print Week Reception. It was an absolute delight to gather together and honor the achievements of our esteemed winners, particularly the remarkable accomplishments of Tara Halpin, our Printer of the Year, and the distinguished recipient of the Maxwell Award, The Cincinnati Type & Print Museum!
Central
With the month of print celebrations well underway, we continued the momentum from last week’s kickoff by bringing the excitement to Columbus! We express our many thanks to all who attended our Central Region Print Week Reception last night. It was truly a joy to gather and recognize the accomplishments of our distinguished winners, especially the remarkable achievements of Mike Fisher, this year’s Franklinton Award recipient. It was so refreshing to see so many award winning students in attendance, ensuring that the future of our industry is in great hands!
Northern
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.
Michigan
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.
