The Flexographic Technical Association (FTA) has announced a change of venue for its forum and Infoflex 2021. Previously scheduled as hybrid events—both in-person and virtual—they will now take place solely in a virtual environment.
The decision comes following a careful review of the present and forecasted pandemic environment, as well as months of discussions with FTA members, forum speakers and Infoflex exhibitors. “The well-being of our membership always comes first, and right now, we’re just not at a point where an in-person forum and Infoflex can be held while meeting our standards for safety and security,” said Mark Cisternino, FTA President. “But if there’s one thing our staff has become well-versed in, it’s delivering a caliber of virtual event that is unsurpassed in this industry.”
Beyond its two tentpole technical conferences, FTA organized and provided virtual events to its members and non-members on a frequent basis last year.“Between Membernars, Flexo Tech Talks, sustainability webinars and other online gatherings, our Association held more than two dozen virtual events in 2020—on average, one every other week,” said Brad Pareso, FTA Vice President.
