Graphics of Americas show now in SGIA ownership

The Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA) has bought the Graphics of the Americas (GOA) printing trade show from the Florida Graphics Alliance (FGA). The event will relaunch in February 2020 in Miami Beach, Florida.

“GOA has a long history of bringing together an audience of exhibitors and attendees from North, Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean. These markets, though distinctly different in many aspects, are vital players in the larger printing community, and are of critical interest to the supplier members of SGIA,” said Ford Bowers, president and CEO, SGIA. FGA president Gabe Hernandez, added: “The printing industry is even more interconnected now, and on many different levels, than in past years. FGA has long desired to make sure that GOA continues as a venue of high value across a range of printing segments and communities. SGIA has the reach, vision and resources to accomplish this and we are happy to be working with them to ensure GOA’s success and growth into the future.” Graphics of the Americas will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Center, 13 – 15 February, 2020.
