Flexographic Technical Association’s (FTA) largest exhibition, INFO*FLEX 2017, has expanded its Solutions Theater to make it the largest one yet. Co-located with FTA’s 2017 Annual Forum, one of the industry’s premier package printing and converting events of the year will take place at the Phoenix Convention Center in downtown Phoenix, AZ, USA.

The two-day production of intensive networking/learning activity and side-by-side comparisons of the latest technologies is designed to enhance exhibit goers’ learning experiences. The Solutions Theater, which is complimentary to all INFO*FLEX attendees, is set to take place on the show floor, in aisle 900, Monday and Tuesday, May 1-2.

“We’ve chosen to expand the INFO*FLEX Solutions Theater this year, so attendees can truly learn about all of the different technologies that will make them better printer/converters,” says Jay Kaible, FTA’s director of business development and membership. “We are especially excited this year because of the variety of topics to be included in the presentations.”

Fourteen companies will present 15-18 minute presentations on the hottest innovations and best practices for applying cutting edge technologies and techniques.
