  • Impressions Expo is looking for speakers for the 2021 Impressions Expo shows so if you have always wanted to be a speaker this is your chance to apply. They are looking specifically for Trending Topics, Panels (3+ speakers) and Advanced Seminars and Workshops (3000-4000 level). To be considered to speak at Impressions Expo, you will have to complete and submit the proposal form and agreed to our non-compete and non-infomercial stipulations.  Impressions Expo does NOT pay for travel; however, we do offer a small speaker honorarium. The deadline for submissions for the 2021 Impressions Expo Conferences is April 17, 2020.
  • Surprising changes at Printwear Magazine. National Business Media (NBM) announces the launch of a new publication, entitled GRAPHICS PRO. The forthcoming publication merges A&E, Printwear, and Sign & Digital Graphics into a single, comprehensive brand. Dave Pomeroy, president of NBM, says, “GRAPHICS PRO will be a significant, professional, substantive magazine and brand that stands alone as the credible source in the industry. GRAPHICS PRO accurately reflects and represents the multi-faceted graphics business of the 2020s. The deep roots we have with over 30 years invested in each of our publications positions GRAPHICS PRO to go both deep and wide—covering specific products and processes but also the larger, wider opportunities that exist for all professional graphics businesses.”

On The Road

Terry: Thanks again to the Impressions Expo. Before we bring in Clay, just quickly tell us about the APA Expo you attended in Las Vegas. 

Aaron: Great Sessions, Lunch with Joseph Tovar of Synergy 17, Got to meet Jan Calahan face to face and dinner with Cheryl Kuchek. Also, shout out to Jimmy Lamb and Lisa Elston for the fun sublimation panel. The only regret was letting them tell people to dip the mugs in water. I’m not a big fan of that.

Aaron: Let’s welcome back to the show Clay Barbera with Corel Trainer.

Aaron: Clay, let’s start with your impressions of the first DAX Show of 2020 in Kansas City.

Terry: Your trade-show booth is set up differently than most, can you tell us about that?

Aaron: So let talk a little CorelDraw here. What is the #1 Question you get and what is the answer you give?

Terry: How was Kansas City’s reaction to your new Training Software?

Aaron: What other shows is Corel Trainer planning on exhibiting at?

Aaron: We’ve talked before, off-camera, about your different sort-of philosophy when it comes to Training People in our Industry. Why don’t you share with listeners what you mean when you say stuff like “happy to help” and “Anytime Answers”.

Terry: Did you ever come sit on the blow-up sofa?

Terry: How can people get ahold of you or sign up for your training program?

Our ThreadX comments and snippets of interviews…

  • Jay Baer – Complaints taking them personal
  • Peter Lovelace – Circle Community Question
  • Victor – What did you want people to take from your presentation

Aaron: More from all three of those folks, plus an interview with Kyler. He is a Skills USA kid. Tell us a little bit about him Terry.

Jeff Schutzman with Team Sparkle Gear will be joining Aaron and Terry to discuss Dealing with Jobs where We Ask, “Should I be Printing This?” None of us are experts on this subject. In fact, Jeff posed the question and agreed to join us to discuss. This has been a subject decorators have dealt with since the first t-shirt, but today with buzz phrases such as “hate speech” and “cancel culture” it’s time to have the conversation.

We are excited to welcome two advisory council members, Ann Crum, the Executive Director of Phoenix Inkjet & Colour Solutions LLC, and Kristin Lanzarone, the Owner/Operator of WrapStar Pro. Ann and Kristin will share more about the Women in Print Alliance’s work, how we can all support women in the industry, and gain a very amazing perspective from two amazing women.
