2021 VENDORS

Here's what our lineup was for 2021. Thanks to all who attended!

In 2010, a small group of employees organized the first National Sales Meeting at Empire Screen Printing in Onalaska, Wisconsin. What started out as an opportunity to bring our national sales reps together to network ideas through print education turned into a multifaceted mission: to provide education in printing, promote the industry and its suppliers, provide unique networking opportunities, illustrate how to be good stewards of the environment, and leave a legacy for future generations.

Take a look at how the Partners and Printing show was started, and how it has grown over the last 10 years.
