Here to Support and Advocate for the Graphic Communications Industry

With the guidance of Dr. Ralph Williams, Professor of Management at MTSU,  our conversation will revolve around creating opportunities for growth and gaining profit by expanding beyond traditional printing.

For this month’s topic, we will dive into:

• The results from the National survey “Printing Industry Performance and Insights” 
• How are printing companies diversifying into Non-Printing Products & Services (NPPS) 
• What is the connection between diversification and firm performance 
• How to decide what non-printing products/services to add 
• Keys to executing your new offerings  

Collective Conversations: Beyond the Press—Diversifying Offerings

Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2026

Time: 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM  PT

Location: Zoom

Turn your surplus into support for the next generation of creators! Each year, we invite industry members to donate unused paper and office supplies to help strengthen graphic arts programs with limited budgets. Instead of tossing extras, save them for the 2026 Surplus Paper Drive—donations will be collected November 5th and 6th between 9am-2pm, and educators can pick up these materials on November 7th.

You’ll clear valuable space, receive a tax-deductible receipt, and make a real impact. Join us in supporting the community!
