Apparelist: Is this the first time you plan to attend PRINTING United Expo?
Geffen: No, I think this will be our fifth year.
Apparelist: Why do you keep coming back to the event?
Geffen: I like to stay sharp and keep my finger on the equipment pulse. Whether we plan to buy at the show or not, I make it a point to attend at least every other year to know what’s out there so when it is time to buy our next piece of equipment, at least we know a little bit about a lot of options.
Apparelist: What are you most looking forward to at this year’s PRINTING United Expo?
Geffen: We’re not looking to buy anything specific but would always interested to see if anyone has any major advances in automation.
Apparelist: Do you have any advice for those who might be on the fence about attending?
Geffen: If you like going to the [the other popular shows in the industry], this is much more intimate and less rushed with most of the bigger players still in attendance. Vegas is a relatively inexpensive place to travel to as well. The education at this show is typically pretty BS free and presented in a solid format.
