Live from the DAX Chicagoland show, Terry, Aaron, and Erich will be talking about tending to your business while on the road.

We work hard to bring you information that will make your business better, and our industry better. Take a look at our incredible weekly guest list and you’ll understand where this industry goes for news, interviews, and the heartbeat of garment decorating. Thanks for listening!
