SGIA ’04 Buzz: 'You Gotta Be There'
Minneapolis, MN - That buzzing sound you may have heard at SGIA ’04 (Minneapolis, October 69) was the sound of attendees and exhibitors excited about the show and the marketplace. Here’s what a few had to say.
Attendees Get Macro Picture of Market & Take Home New Ideas
"It’s very clear from the show floor how digital print is expanding in the marketplace.”
“SGIA ’04 was great for all the technologies we offer. In each row, we found things and applications that will help us improve our overall efficiencies.”
“I’m using SGIA ’04 as the show I’ll price my capital expenditures off of. SGIA is the trigger for our capital expenditures for the coming year.”
“The decorative printing markets are really starting to happen. … SGIA ’04 has the biggest and best group of digital users.”
“Every time I come to SGIA, there’s something that gets me excited. … I’ve only missed one show in 23 years. When I leave, I usually feel like I haven’t spent enough time here! SGIA ’04 was definitely worth my time.”
“Our industry has changed, as you’ve seen on the show floor. Tools and systems are there to help us fill our niches successfully, as we meet the challenges of the global business environment.”
“Tip-toeing in today’s marketplace is the quickest way to commit business suicide. … To be a winner, you have to be ready and willing to accept change.”
Exhibitors Swamped with Serious Buyers Looking for Solutions
“Attendees aren’t here looking for a single solution; they’re looking for ways to expand.”
“We’ve had people stacked up at our booth — yesterday (October 7) was sheer pandemonium in here! I’ve been so busy in the booth I haven’t had a chance to get on the show floor.”
“Creating partnerships between our school and companies brings you into the industry pretty quick!”
“Coates had a constant flow and lots of intense, one-on-one conversations. Inquiries went beyond the aisle and into the heart of the booth.”
“The big difference I’ve seen in the last two years has been the proliferation of digital in graphics packaging. At SGIA ’04 I’m seeing a serious marriage of digital and screen printing in the booths.”
“We had a crowd in and around our booth every day. We’ve sold equipment on the floor and have had numerous verbal orders.”
“We hit our lead quota by 1:00 pm Thursday [the second day of the show]! This whole area’s a hotbed for printing in general.”
“All sorts of applications are popping up that you wouldn’t have thought to do digitally.”
“The traffic we have is excellent. We’ve seen a lot of qualified people at SGIA ’04.”
“We’ve seen a lot of people looking for products to use with new digital equipment.”
“The digital movement has become a strong market, and that’s worked well.”
“SGIA is the absolute best show we can go to — it’s so directly related to what we do every day.”
“We’ve had so many leads we’ll be busy for the next 3 months.”
“We started to look at SGIA when we saw our customers are coming here. … [and] we bested the performance we showed at every other trade show this year.”
