FTA Forum 2022 returns live and in person with the promise of “Corralling Solutions, Creating Results” for the flexographic industry. The four-day technical conference takes place March 13-16 at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel in Fort Worth, TX, USA.

Following a successful Fall Conference 2021, FTA is eager to welcome its members and the flexographic industry to the first live Forum since 2019 to explore new developments in flexography and reconnect with colleagues.

“We are excited to be back in person for Forum 2022 for a more immersive experience,” says Forum 2022 chair Bart Wright of Pacificolor. “Flexographic technology has continued to advance, so now it’s time to harness these new and proven solutions to create exceptional results for our clients – and this year’s presentations will demonstrate how.”

Forum 2022’s agenda includes an extensive look at PQX and how it is being adapted into today’s print score card, a discussion about the root causes of issues with ink and a debate between top anilox roller manufacturers on types of engravings. In addition, sessions will explore opportunities for expanding flexographic business offerings, practical solutions for real-world production issues, optimizing press operations for better print quality and an evaluation of how CxF files are used throughout the flexographic workflow.

“Every session is focused on resolving some type of issue, whether it’s in production, business development or meeting the needs of a brand owner,” adds Forum 2022 co-chair Laura Wright of CSW Inc. “Attendees will leave with an arsenal of techniques for making their print operations more efficient and effective at delivering on customer needs.”

Forum 2022 will be held in conjunction with INFOFLEX 2022, the 40th anniversary of FTA’s annual exhibition, taking place March 14-15 at the Fort Worth Convention Center. A limited number of booths are still available.
