Through a series of strategic programs, resources, and partnerships, the Alliance is providing members with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to navigate this revolutionary shift in business and production.
A Commitment to Serving the Industry
“As the industry’s leading member-based printing and graphic arts association in North America, the Alliance is committed to helping our members and the broader printing community stay ahead of emerging technologies like AI,” says Mark J. Subers, Chief Innovation Officer, PRINTING United Alliance. “This is the biggest industry shift since the internet, and we are proud to serve as the guide for our members on this journey.”
From participation in groundbreaking events to publishing vital industry research and launching hands-on educational offerings, the Alliance is ensuring that printers are equipped to harness the full potential of AI:
Inaugural IMAGINE AI Live Printing Workshop
The Alliance took a leading role in the first-ever “AI Innovation for Print Leaders” workshop at the renowned IMAGINE AI Live event recently held in Las Vegas, a landmark event designed to measure AI readiness across the printing industry. With nearly 75 print executives in attendance and three key sponsor partners—Heidelberg, Koenig & Bauer, and Print ePS—the workshop provided critical insight into how printers are engaging with AI and what they need moving forward.
The Alliance partnered with Steve Metcalf and IMAGINE AI Live to launch this important initiative, reinforcing its commitment to supporting the industry through transformative change.
When asked why the Alliance is the right organization to lead AI education for the print industry, Print ePS Chief Product Officer, Nick Benkovich, said, “The Alliance continues to be the trusted source for industry information, events, and leadership on critical issues that can positively and negatively impact our industry. The pragmatic, unbiased, and well-researched nature of the Alliance means that it is well recognized as the go-to organization when looking for an understanding of critical topics like AI.”
