Graphics of the Americas Taps Haymarket’s
PrintWeek to Publish Show Daily
37th exhibition takes place March 1-3, 2012 at the
Miami Beach Convention Center
Orlando, Fla. - October 26, 2011 - The Printing Association of Florida (PAF), producer
of the Graphics of the Americas Expo & Conference (GOA), today announces that
Haymarket Publishing's PrintWeek magazine will produce the GOA 2012 Show Daily.
George Ryan, GOA President, says, “We are pleased to have PrintWeek come on
board as the producer of the highly anticipated Show Daily publication for our 2012
show. PrintWeek is highly respected in the industry, and will undoubtedly be a great fit
with the show this year.”
The 16-page Show Daily – with versions available in both English and Spanish – will be
produced directly on site during the three-day event. A dedicated PrintWeek team will
report live from the show floor as well as cover the range of top-notch educational
sessions, bringing visitors the latest news, product launches, sales, and more.
Over 3,000 copies will be printed each day and distributed throughout the venue.
Though PrintWeek currently produces online content for the U.S. printing industry, the
GOA Show Daily will mark the debut of PrintWeek’s first printed publication in the U.S.
"We're thrilled that PrintWeek's first steps in the U.S. with a printed product are at the
Graphics of the Americas show," says Wayne Morgan, digital publisher, Haymarket
Business Media. "It's great to bring our ethos of quality business journalism to a new
market and we're confident we'll find a welcome home here."
Matt Whipp, online editor, PrintWeek, adds, "With three events at the same location to
cover in both English and Spanish, and an economy finally heading back in the right
direction, we are starting our U.S. journey in a really exciting place, and at a really
exciting time."
