The Architecture of Learning
Sep 10, 2018

As you strive to build your business, reliable knowledge is one of the most important tools you can have. Printing is a thing, an activity, a process, a means to an end; but running a business requires strategy, thought, consideration and an ongoing flow of concepts and ideas. Fortunately, the upcoming SGIA Expo (October 18-20 in Las Vegas) has the resources you need.SGIA Expo Education Session - Speaker Presentation
Let’s start with the foundation of your business. This year’s Expo has two half-day sessions designed to get new and fledgling businesses, or those who are new to wide-format digital printing, started on the right track. By having this foundational knowledge in place, businesses are then able to build upon it. These sessions, “Essential Small Business Strategies,” and “Wide-Format 101,” will both be held on Wednesday, October 17, the day before the Expo opens, and they are priced for a guaranteed ROI.

SGIA Expo Education Session - AudienceBuilding upon foundational learning, the SGIA Expo has 72 educational sessions taking place during the three days of the event, carefully curated by industry professionals and organized into tracks addressing the needs of every printing segment. Graphics producers and installers, garment decorators, industrial printers, packaging converters and commercial printers will benefit from segment-specific sessions and a special track of business management focused sessions that will elevate any printing business.

At the top of our metaphorical “building” is where your business opportunities can grow, to expand upward toward the future, toward opportunity. To address the aspirational soul of your business, SGIA offers 12 free sessions highlighting the findings of recently commissioned (by SGIA) and independent research products, the results of which point toward new opportunities and changing industry conditions.

SGIA Expo - Education Session AudienceThe SGIA Expo is an amazing event, filled with sights, sounds and a vibrant energy that rivals the Las Vegas strip (at least in my opinion). Amid the excitement, I urge you to take time to learn, consider and gain the knowledge needed to build your businesses.

OSHA Walkaround Rule Allows Third Parties, Including Union Reps, At Any Worksite

The Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) has finalized one its most controversial rules about who may accompany OSHA officials during worksite inspections. The revised rule has the potential to dramatically change the dynamics associated with OSHA inspections. Due to the significant resistance by the regulated community to the proposed rule, which included PRINTING United Alliance, there is a likelihood that the rule will be challenged in federal court and may put the effective date on hold pending the outcome of the lawsuits.
