Graphics of the Americas 2012

Graphics of the Americas (GOA), the second-largest graphic communications show in the United States,
is the only annual national and international graphic communications show in the United States. The
continued international presence at GOA reflects the addition of globally recognized exhibitors, continued
introduction of new graphics technology, and its focus on presenting the premier sources of education,
information, and solutions for traditional and digital printing. For 37 years, printers, creative professionals,
and marketing executives have relied on GOA to inform and educate them about leading edge
advancements, new equipment, products, and consumables. Everything needed to maximize a company’s
efficiency and profitability has been set up on the GOA show floor. GOA presents seminars focusing on
prepress production, management, sales, and marketing, as well as art and design featuring the American
Graphics Institute. In addition, the show offers a hands-on computer lab, business opportunities, and new
technologies that improve productivity. GOA is the first event to showcase the convergence of traditional
and digital printing in the international marketplace and attendees will experience technologies not seen
