THE NBM SHOW Gears Up for Long Beach

BROOMFIELD, Colo.-THE NBM SHOW heads to the West Coast for Long Beach, California on Aug. 2-4. The multi-day event of training and networking takes place at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center.

Along with the chance to see the latest technologies by some of the biggest names in the apparel decoration and graphics markets, THE NBM SHOW Long Beach features a full schedule of training opportunities presented by industry veterans covering topics like:

• Direct-to-Garment Printing Using the Epson F2100 and F2000 Printer

The training schedule of free classes begins on Aug. 2 at 10 a.m and concludes at 3 p.m. on Aug. 4.

For apparel decorators, the exhibitor roster features new additions this year including two California-based garment manufacturers: US Blanks and Upcycle. Long Beach also features a newcomer to the lineup of heat transfer vinyl companies, HTV Crafts from just up the road in Brea, California.

Additionally, NBM Long Beach features WRAPSCON which runs Aug. 2-4 at the convention center. Designed for vinyl wrap professionals, the event offers opportunities in the vehicle wrap advertising, commercial fleet graphics, and other related graphics markets.
