By the Numbers
Mar 19, 2019

No matter how you stack the numbers, SGIA’s 2019 FP3: Functional Printing, Process & Products conference (May 5 - 7; Chicago area) adds up to be a must-attend for today’s functional printers. If you’re still on the fence, here’s a number of reasons why to make this event a priority.

FP3 Functional Printing 2018 Audience5: With FP3 kicking off May 5, we’re celebrating its first night with a Cinco de Mayo dinner. Start the conference on a celebratory note while connecting with industry peers, speakers and sponsors.

4: In FP3’s opening keynote, Gene Marks, the Marks Group PC, will address the four most important power trends — Washington and the economy, taxes, people and technology — that should be on the forefront of business leaders’ minds. His discussion will cover the actions to take today to ensure continued success no matter what surprises lay ahead.

3: While the obvious is to say this conference is all about the three Ps (printing, processes and products), it also spans three days. That’s three days of education covering all of the essentials for functional printing businesses, fun networking opportunities and optional add-on events for you to customize your schedule to what works best for you.

FP3 Functional Printing 2018 Networking Sponsors2: FP3 attendees will have two opportunities to learn from Colby Jubenville, Ph.D. In addition to his closing keynote on turning great ideas into action, he will lead a pre-conference executive leader workshop on persuasion and storytelling. If you missed him at the 2018 SGIA Expo’s FP3 Luncheon, here’s a recap.

1: Keeping everything on schedule is one very funny Master of Ceremonies. Engineer-turned-comedian Don McMillan makes his FP3 return, bringing even more fun and humor to the mix.

FP3 Functional Printing 2018 Speaker0: The number of days you should wait to register for FP3. Early bird registration and hotel rates are available for a limited time, so time is of the essence! 

FP3 is less than two months away. Don't miss the conference specifically designed for functional printers featuring a diverse presentation lineup and several sponsoring companies with solutions to help take your business to the next level.
