Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) announced “Trending Now” as the official theme of the FTA’s Annual Forum 2017 event. More than 2,000 trend-setters, representing every segment of the supply chain, will attend the April 30-May 3 event, held at the Sheraton Grand Phoenix Hotel in Phoenix, AZ.
 
Forum’s agenda embraces today’s hottest topics and trends. Content will span the gamut on business intelligence that’s trending now, everything from tackling legal and regulatory issues to meeting the challenge of finding qualified press operators; up to and including ample analysis of disruptive technologies.
 
Flexo’s essentials – inks, anilox rolls, substrates, plates and prepress practices, plus statistical process control – will also receive critical attention throughout the technical program.
 
The sessions are:
 • Flexo: Legals, Markets and Logistics
• The “Press Crew” Crisis: Now Who’s Going to Run My Press?
• Disruptive Technologies: Embrace the Possibilities
• It’s All About Ink!
• Let’s All Get RIPed: Practical Prepress
• Pressroom Pressures
• Corrugated
• Not Only How to Use, But How to Choose: Flexo Consumables 101
• Surveying Production Performance: Flexography 102
 
In addition, the program agenda will offer a complimentary pre-conference session, hosted by the Flexo Quality Consortium (FQC), dubbed #Research!
 
Program development is being led by Forum chairs Paul Teachout, Nilpeter, and Bob Coomes, Plastic Packaging Technologies. Abstract review, speaker selection and session format determination is underway.
 
Coinciding with Forum 2017 is the INFO*FLEX Exhibition which celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2017. The event takes place May 1-2 at the Phoenix Convention Center. More than 85% of the total 310 booths have already been sold.
