Beginning Saturday, April 29, 2006 a delegation from West Virginia will be attending the InfoFlex Conference and Exhibition in Louisville Kentucky. The show is hosted by the Flexographic Technical Association, which was founded in 1958, and is the leading technical society devoted exclusively to the flexographic printing industry.

What you may not know is that West Virginia has one of the leading print management degree programs in the nation. West Virginia University Institute of Technology offers a Printing Management, B.S. The Printing Management curriculum at WVU Tech is designed for those students who are interested in furthering their education and entering the management area of the printing industry.

Where better to locate business related to the print industry than a state with a low cost of doing business, positioned geographically within one-day shippping to 60% of the United States and 30% of Canada and with a viable technically trained workforce in the print industry? We can’t think of a better place and we’ll have that same discussion with our friends in the print industry this weekend.

Those attending the trade show will be Matthew Ballard, Executive Vice President of the Charleston Area Alliance, Jeff Wood, Director of Business Development for MATRIC, David Lieving, West Virginia Development Office, and Dr. Jack Nuckols, Chair WVU Institute of Technology Department of Printing.
