TAGA 63^rd Annual Technical Conference

March 6-9, 2011
The Omni William Penn Hotel
Pittsburgh, PA
United States

TAGA ’s annual technical conference is the only international conference for the graphic arts that features technical papers on research straight from the laboratory, studies from the pressroom, and software and systems engineering papers. If your responsibilities include staying on top of graphic arts technology in order to help direct your company’s future, strategically or tactically, then TAGA ’s Annual Technical Conference should be your top educational priority each and every year!

TAGA ’s agenda delivers value to pressroom management, paper and ink specialists, prepress, micro technology, graphic arts educators, and research and development. If you are a CTO, CIO, or R&D manager of a printing company, pressroom equipment manufacturer, front-end systems, publisher, as well as manufacturers of ink, paper, and other consumables, this is a conference you do not want to miss.
