Print 09 backers offering vendors ‘stimulus’

Graphic Arts Show Co., the firm behind Print 09, said it will offer vendors credits to offset the costs associated with installing machinery and other equipment at its upcoming show.
GASC said exhibitors can choose between two subsidy plans: one, geared to those companies with heavy machinery that occupies a large percentage of their booth space, allows for unlimited machinery material handling at the show site. The second option features limited material handling, but covers both machinery and non-machinery.
Altogether, GASC expects to offer up to $3 million in credit through the plan, with average exhibitor savings ranging from $550 to $165,000, depending on the size of exhibitors’ booth space.
“In these troubled times, we can’t settle for business as usual,” said Ralph Nappi, GASC president. “That is why GASC has stepped forward with the subsidy plan to support the companies that provide equipment, products and services to the graphic communications industry.”
The show, scheduled for Sept. 11-16, will be held at McCormick Place in Chicago.
News & Tech is offering a free exhibits-only pass to attend Print ’09. For more information, see the banner below.
