Regional Workshop - Flexo Troubleshooting

Flexo Troubleshooting Regional Seminar (1 day)

A Seminar on Best Practices and Solutions to Improve Pressroom Efficiencies and Troubleshooting

ATTENTION: After much thought, we have officially decided to postpone our Flexo Troubleshooting events for Greenville SC (March 17th), Vancouver WA (April 7th), and San Leandro CA (April 9th) due to the continued escalation of the COVID-19 outbreak. This is not a decision we took lightly as we were excited for you to join us at these events. That said, out of respect to our customers' personal safety and the evolving corporate protocols restricting people from travel and participating in group events, we felt this was in the best interest for everyone.

We will be setting new dates, but will need to allow the current uncertainty about this outbreak to settle. The hope is to set dates for later this Summer or early Fall. We will send out a general announcement about revised dates for these events once we have finalized those plans.

For those that have already registered, we can either transfer your registration to the re-scheduled class; or, if you wish, we can cancel your registration and send you a refund. Please let us know your preference. (You can always re-register for the future event.) Thank you for your patience as we work to reschedule these events. We will send out a general announcement about revised dates for these events. Please be safe and stay well! We look forward to seeing you in the near future.

What Customers Are Saying:

Recently, a couple other team members and I attended the APR trouble shooting workshop. The systematic approach in establishing a process for trouble shooting is an invaluable tool for us. Catherine Haynes did an excellent job making the program educational as well as interactive.
