"Environmental sustainability in printing is an extremely important topic," says George Ryan, GOA President. "The issues, trends and legislation surrounding the industry can be difficult to understand, as information is constantly changing. The Roundtable serves to help printers navigate the latest topics in this space, and is an excellent venue to openly discuss the issues at hand. We invite all show attendees and exhibitors to attend this special event."
