The Association for PRINT Technologies (APTech), Franklin, Tennessee, and the Foil & Specialty Effects Association (FSEA), Topeka, Kansas, are delighted to announce the companies’ collaboration on a new in-person event, Amplify, an exhibition and educational program spotlighting the print finishing value chain. The immersive three-day experience will take place June 14-16, 2022, in the heart of the print, graphic arts and print finishing industry at the Minneapolis Convention Center.

Both associations welcome print and packaging designers, commercial printers, print finishers, binders, mailers and creatives to connect with the equipment manufacturers and suppliers to those industries. From the exhibit hall to the educational program and beyond, attendees will network with all the key players in the finishing cycle, learn best practices, discover emerging technologies and hear real-world success stories. Other association partners who will be supporting Amplify include AICC, the Independent Packaging Association, and RadTech, the Association for UV&EB Technology.

Amplify will feature an interactive learning experience through technology demonstrations, product spotlights and classroom educational experiences. Exhibitors and educational programs will cover processes that include metallic decorating techniques, folding and gluing, UV coating, laminates, laser cutting, perfect and mechanical binding, folding and direct mail machinery and software. Amplify’s dedicated exhibit team is committed to helping exhibitors and sponsors reach their customers, build awareness and generate new leads. They will also be able to connect with key players in the print finishing value chain from designers, creative and art directors, printers, finishers and mailers. Exhibitors will be able to demonstrate their creative products and services through technology demonstrations and product spotlights.

Attendee registration for Amplify will launch in early 2022.
