As we look forward to the 2025 show season, we at GRAPHICS PRO EXPO (GPX) are investing in many different areas:
- New registration platform
- Mobile app and show directory,
plus networking capabilities - Lead retrieval that uses the
same networking capabilities as
the mobile app - Education options during the show
Three of the four areas are about improving the user experience, plus having people network before and after the show. The fourth component — education — is a high priority for GPX in 2025.
Why expand GPX educational opportunities?
As my grandmother used to drill into me as a kid, education is the key to getting ahead. As you learn and gain experience, having that knowledge provides a solid foundation to grow as an adult and provides additional resources you can call upon in your respective industry.
For 2025, besides the sponsored content sessions, we will have expanded non-sponsored sessions, plus our continuation of the hands-on education on the show floor.
- In Irving: GPX University, WRAPSCON University, and classroom sessions
- In Indianapolis: GPX University, WRAPSCON University, and classroom sessions
- In Long Beach: GPX University, the full WRAPSCON experience, and classroom sessions
- In Meadowlands: GPX University and classroom sessions
- In Charlotte: GPX University and classroom sessions
By adding all of the different educational components to GPX, an attendee can gain additional insights through hands-on and traditional classroom environments. Providing multiple ways to gain this knowledge guarantees attendees can learn in a way that works best for them.
We will be offering classroom sessions for all the areas of the graphics industry — awards/personalization, signage/wide-format printing, apparel decoration, etc. Plus, we will be adding courses on business development, management, and basic legal concepts for small businesses. Our goal is to create an extremely well-rounded educational experience.
Overall, we want GPX to be the place where you view great products and see old friends and make new ones, but to also gain the knowledge necessary to grow and maintain your business. Thank you in advance for coming on this journey with us. We expect 2025 to be a great year and we’re sure it will provide a strong foundation for years to come.
