FTA Announces Plans for Forum 2022

Session details are available for FTA’s Forum 2022, a four-day technical conference themed “Corralling Solutions, Creating Results.” The event will be held March 13-16 at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel in Fort Worth, TX.

With nine sessions and more than 25 technical presentations from industry experts, Forum 2022 will explore how the technology powering cutting-edge flexographic printing can help flexographers corral solutions to create exemplary results for clients. A staple for more than six decades, Forum provides attendees with a chance to hone skills and gain knowledge from peers who aim to tackle challenges so they can meet their customers’ needs.

“Everyone is looking for better, more efficient ways to work. Seeing innovative ways to improve efficiency and print quality during Forum 2022 will inspire more of the same,” said FORUM 2022 co-chair Laura Wright of CSW Inc. “Many flexographers have been busy just getting the work out the last few years, but it’s important to take time to improve processes and standards. This year’s sessions will present lots of new and accessible ways to help achieve this.”
