IADD·FSEA Odyssey to Offer Value-Packed Solutions

January 23, 2009

ATLANTA, Ga.—According to industry strategists, a top priority in today’s slowing economy will be investments in capital goods and services that improve profits, increase sales, decrease production costs, and decrease administrative costs. The 2009 IADD·FSEA Odyssey, to be held May 6-8 at the Cobb Galleria Centre, Atlanta, Ga., will address these four criteria, providing value-packed solutions for attendees.

At the Odyssey, technical sessions are taught on-press in a production-like environment and classroom sessions are designed to educate, solve challenges, and promote open discussions in a variety of converting areas. The Techshop™ and classroom sessions, combined with a 3-day trade exposition composed of more than 100 suppliers of equipment, consumables, and services, make the Odyssey the only venue in 2009 targeted specifically to diecutting, diemaking, foil stamping/embossing, folding carton, corrugated, and specialty markets.

The Odyssey’s 25 educational sessions (on-press and classroom) are designed to help attendees gain a competitive advantage and gear up for a healthier economy. Innovative Techshop™ sessions and equipment demonstrations from manufacturers such as Adams Technologies, American International Machinery, B&R Moll, Bobst Group North America, Brausse Group, Diversified Graphic Machinery/Iijima North America, Gerber Innovations, Karl Marbach, Preco, SDS USA, Serviform, Steel Rule Diemasters, and Weidhaas will feature the latest technologies impacting profitability and productivity.

The 2009 IADD·FSEA Odyssey is sponsored by the International Association of Diecutting and Diemaking (IADD) and the Foil Stamping & Embossing Association (FSEA).
