GAMAA MEMBERS LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT SHOW As the co-presenter of PacPrint09, together with Printing Industries, GAMAA is looking forward to welcoming visitors to what is the most anticipated Show on the industry’s calendar for 2009.

PacPrint 09 might be seen as a show for conventional printers but, according to organisers and exhibitors, there will also be a wide range of solutions and ideas on display for the wide format market at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26-30 May.

With only a month to go until the doors open on PacPrint 09 at Melbourne’s Convention and Exhibition Centre, it’s time for industry professionals intending to visit to prepare themselves to get the most out of their attendance at the region’s premier print and graphic communications exhibition.

The topics chosen for the PacPrint Forum Series, together with the calibre of the speakers, has clearly hit the mark with visitors who have responded with unprecedented interest and, with places filling fast for all three sessions, organisers are urging PacPrint visitors to book early to avoid missing a place at the Forum of their choice.

Print and graphic communications is a technologically sophisticated industry that offers an enormous range of options to the marketer, advertiser and communications specialist. The best of these will be on show at PacPrint 09, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 26-30 May – and it’s well worth a visit.

GAMAA announced today that Mitchell Mulligan, Böttcher Australia, has been officially appointed to the role of President, GAMAA. Formerly GAMAA’s Vice President, Mr. Mulligan, who replaces Alastair Hadley, will hold the position of President for a two year term.

Applications are now being received for the 2009 GAMAA Leadership Programme - Scholarships. Scholarships are open to all individuals working in the graphic media and printing technologies industry who have the support of their employer.
