As the PRINTING United Expo 2024 in Las Vegas approaches, there is a lot of excitement within the printing industry. This event, known for bringing together diverse aspects of printing, is a prime opportunity for learning, networking, and inspiration. Recently, Wide-Format Impressions conducted a Q&A with our CEO, Dolf Kahle, offering a glimpse into what he thinks makes this Expo a must-attend event.

In the interview, Dolf Kahle’s enthusiasm for the PRINTING United Expo is felt, as he highlights the dual benefits of discovering the latest in technology and productivity improvements and networking with other industry leaders to share best practices. His commitment is evident, having attended over 40 shows since 1982. The Expo is great for reconnecting with old friends and staying updated on industry advancements. Kahle values the event for its comprehensive showcase of the printing industry, making it an essential part of his professional journey.

One of the key draws for Kahle is exploring cutting-edge products, brands, and services, which have consistently provided Visual Marking Systems (VMS) with high-quality capital equipment and services.

Kahle’s strategic and collaborative approach involves thoroughly exploring the Expo with our team, holding daily meetings to review their findings, and developing a capital expenditure plan. As his career winds down after 42 years, the Expo remains integral for strategic planning and mentoring future generations, ensuring VMS stays at the forefront of industry developments.
