PRINTING United Expo, the largest event in printing and graphic arts in 2022 opened its doors last week to gather attendees and exhibitors from around the world for the first time under one roof since 2019. Organised from October 19-21 at Las Vegas Convention Center, the global event drew registrants from 121 countries, and was deemed an overwhelming success by attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and partners. A total of 701 exhibitors from around the world occupied 1 million square feet of show floor space at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Of special note, global CEOs, managing directors, and the most senior-level leaders were in attendance this year supporting commercial, digital, apparel, digital textile, packaging, mailing and fulfillment, and graphics/wide-format spaces. From an attendance standpoint, there were 7 percent more attendees on-site this year in Las Vegas than the inaugural show in Dallas in 2019. Based on figures provided recently by the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR), the authority on trade shows and events, PRINTING United Expo has outpaced expositions in other industries this year in total registration by approximately 25 percent.
