About Forum

Forum Links

Forum is the premiere education and networking event for companies and individuals who together form the distribution channel of the printing, imaging and graphic arts industry. It is an annual opportunity to come together to learn, to network, and to build better business relationships. NAGASA has increased its emphasis on small and medium size channel companies. We believe that in the long run, a strong and vibrant channel is not one that consists of a few large companies.

Forum is an important part of that effort. Our guiding philosophy is that Forum presentations have to do more than just present information - they have to help members find a way to make it useful in their businesses. That cannot be done in one-hour presentations. Thus we have moved to more fully utilize the information and wisdom available from our presenters by developing more in depth presentations and workshops that involve attendees, and in the process, hopefully prove more useful to you.

Forum is now a two-day business focused conference, usually held in March or April. The meetings are typically held over a weekend, currently in second-tier Midwest cities. This format is much more cost and time effective, with the savings passed on to members through substantially lower registration fees and hotel rates. Smart members now leverage their time at Forum. They schedule meetings with others who will be attending, either the day preceding or the day following Forum.
