In this fifth annual Printing Industry Center Symposium and Planning Meeting, Industry Partners, RIT faculty and staff, and other participants will learn about and discuss the research conducted at the Center over the past year and plan for the coming year of research and activities.

The event will begin on Tuesday, November 14, with a reception on the RIT campus, in conjunction with the Package Printing Symposium. This will be a celebratory dinner reception, along with demonstrations on a variety of presses—offset, flexographic, and digital—in the RIT Printing Applications Laboratory's extensive and state-of-the-art facilities.

In a series of sessions during the day on November 15, Center researchers will present their findings from the past year of the Center’s applied research agenda and set the stage for future investigative projects.

On the final day of this event on November 16, Industry Partner representatives will work with Center researchers to shape the research agenda for the coming year.
