Top 10 things
you can do at PRINT 09
PRINT 09 (www.print09.com) is THE show for the graphic arts
industry. I’ll be there and I hope you will, too! In this blog post, I
identified 10 potential show activities:
10. Roll up a poster, pretend it is a lightsaber and demonstrate the
Three Styles of the New Jedi Order up and down the main aisle.
9. Enter a booth, point to the largest piece of equipment and say,
“I’ll take six of these. How soon can I get them?”
8. As you enter the show floor, compliment the security guards on their
excellent badge scanning techniques.
7. During the Q&A following the General Session, introduce yourself as
an Amway independent business owner and ask the group if you can
interest them in some high performance home cleaning and laundry care
products.
6. Rappel down the Sears Tower using rope braided from lanyards
collected throughout the PRINT 09 show floor.
5. Collect 3,562 pins, badges and ribbons to challenge Larry Warter’s
all-time record.
4. Instigate a catfight between Dr. Joe Webb and Frank Romano.
3. Say, “I’ve changed my mind,” as you return a stress ball to the
vendor you got it from at GRAPH EXPO 2008.
2. Ask if you can use the UV lamps on the presses and wide-format
digital printers to work on your tan.
1. See the equipment! See the equipment! See the equipment! See the
equipment! See the equipment!
