The global print community will gather to celebrate Girls Who Print Day on October 7, and International Print Day on October 20, hosted online by Print Media Centr
Two print industry milestone events hosted and produced by Print Media Centr are scheduled for October.
The 9th annual Girls Who Print Day conference begins online at 10 am eastern on October 7. Girls Who Print honors the contributions and increasing influence of women in print. Highlights include the Girlie Award and the Women in Leadership panel.
To celebrate International Print Day 2021 on October 20, print organizations and print-related professionals around the world will share their print ideas, networking opportunities, and knowledge via #IPD21 and the hashtag representing this year’s theme, #PrintAgain. #PrintAgain signifies the revival of print in the marketing mix, and its continuing significance in successful business communications and marketing.
