“PRINTING UNITED EXPO 2025 WILL BE A VALUE-DRIVEN, TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE”.
Characteristically, PRINTING United Expo, organized by the PRINTING United Alliance, is where you see print industry innovations, equipment demonstrations, and technologies under one roof. Set to take place at the popular and award-winning East Coast destination - Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, from Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 October, WHERE To Print Magazine sought to know what’s new at this year’s edition and what the global printing industry should look forward to at America’s largest annual trade show. Responses from Group President, Media and Events – Mr. Christopher Curran are excerpted below in this SPECIAL FEATURE INTERVIEW:
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW POSITION; HOW DO YOU FEEL?
Thank you! I’m truly honoured to step into this role. PRINTING United Expo has become the leading platform for our industry worldwide, and I feel both proud and energized to help guide it into the future. There’s an incredible team behind the Expo, and we are excited to continue building on the strong foundation already in place. All the credit goes to our amazing members and partners who have truly embraced the platform that we have built for the industry and engaged with it, which allows all our programmes, services, and events to grow and be more impactful year after year.
WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT THIS YEAR’S PRINTING UNITED EXPO AS YOU TAKE CHARGE?
I’m most excited about the level of innovation and convergence on the show floor this year. We are seeing technologies and applications coming together in ways that are reshaping the business of print. Bringing all of that under one roof for attendees to experience firsthand is something I’m thrilled to oversee. We continue to grow areas of engagement and hands-on activations, which truly help attendees become immersed in all the great technology and education there is to be experienced.
WHAT’S NEW ABOUT THIS YEAR’S PRINTING UNITED EXPO THAT VISITORS SHOULD LOOK OUT FOR?
We are launching several new features this year. The AI Pavilion will showcase how artificial intelligence is transforming workflow, efficiency, and customer engagement. Our Student Day will connect the next generation with employers and technology, and the Spill the Ink Roundtables will foster real dialogue among peers. And for the first time, the G7/G7+ Exchange is taking place live on-site, which sold out months in advance.
