Apparel Zone Brings Reimagined Decorating Education to PRINTING United Expo 2024
Built on the momentum of the past several years, this year’s Apparel Zone powered by Apparelist Live is reimagined to take experiential learning and hands-on education to the next level at PRINTING United Expo 2024. The Zone will feature individual, branded training areas specialized by technology, Apparelist Live! Theatre presentations, and more, all with an old-world Vegas feel.
The Apparelist Live Zone is designed for all printers, whether new to apparel decoration or experienced.
Hands-on Opportunities in the Apparel Zone
Over the course of the past few years, PRINTING United Alliance has worked hard to re-engage the apparel decorating community. The Apparel Zone was created to educate the printing community while onsite at the Expo in the hands-on way that decorators desire. This year, the Zone, powered by Apparelist Live, will build on that foundation by highlighting five separate decorating technologies within the designated show floor area:
- Screen Printing
- Heat-Applied Graphics
- Embroidery
- Digital Decorating – Direct-to-Garment and Direct-to-Film
- Sublimation/Cut-and-Sew
Throughout the three days of the Expo, attendees can visit this Zone and learn how to utilize and implement these technologies into their businesses during specific training sessions.
Also reimagined this year is the Future State Theater, which will now be part of the Apparelist Live experience. The Apparelist Live! Theatre will still showcase educational presentations on topics designed to help decorators run their businesses successfully. Topics are hand-picked by the Apparelist team in tandem with industry peers who work on the front lines and understand the business needs of the apparel decorating community. Scheduled presentations will run throughout the course of the Expo.
Immersive Vegas Experience
And of course, the team had to incorporate the Vegas spirit to elevate the experience. Attendees who visit the Apparel Zone powered by Apparelist Live will get to enjoy some of the fun of old-world Vegas, such as taking a perfect social media picture with a vintage car, learning about technologies while enjoying a milkshake, and visiting areas reminiscent of old-school barbershops and dive bars.
Plus, don’t forget to stop by the Apparelist Live! Podcast Booth, where you can enjoy a show or two from just a few of the printing industry celebrities.
The Apparel Zone powered by Apparelist Live is for every attendee and printer who will be at the Expo. It will be “ALive” with learning, networking, and hands-on experience built for every printer that wants to know more about this lucrative side of the printing industry.
