PIA Expo

 

Unlike any other trade show in Southern California, the PIA Expo is a week-long celebration of print, marketing, graphic design, advertising, media, and much more!

The week was filled with print plant tours of some of the best facilities in San Diego, our popular U.S.P.S. and Union-Tribune tours, where attendees got a sneak-peak of what goes on behind-the scenes at our nation’s post offices, and San Diego’s largest daily newspaper.

The week also featured a one-day trade show at the San Diego Convention Center, jam-packed with exhibitors showcasing exciting products, and seminars led by industry experts. Over 1,400 attendees gathered in one location to socialize and check out what’s new in the industry this year.

Closing out the fun-filled week was our Cocktails & Kudos event held at the elegant Se San Diego Hotel. Party-goers mingled and networked with others in the industry while toasting another successful PIA Expo.

A special thanks goes to our Trade Show Sponsors whose support helped make the show a great success!

“As a member of the printer design community in San Diego, and the leader of a small startup looking to better understand how we might be able to serve printer’s needs, it is very helpful to be able to make contact with and learn from print leaders here in San Diego. I was not aware of your organization previously, but now that I am, will seek to get further involved.” - Mike Puyot - CEO, Memjet Wide Format Inc

“In one word the PIA week was COLORFUL. It was our pleasure to celebrate print with the PIA tour and Expo. Our guests were able to see the variations of marketing beyond postcards and pamphlets, while the use of the web world crossed with print stirred more than one person’s intrigue and a whole lot of questions. Without trade shows and events like this people are not able to directly access, and furthermore, experience the full potential of the print industry. This week gave us a chance to illustrate to the consumer what exactly a print shop can do as a marketing service provider.” Master Print Communications
