The annual [Flexographic Technical Association Fall Conference](https://www.flexography.org/conferences-events/fall-conference/) will be quickly upon us. Slated for Oct. 9-11 in St. Louis, FTA 2017 will give hundreds in the realm of flexographic printing services numerous educational and networking opportunities.

We always enjoy sending a contingent of company reps to mingle and soak in the wisdom to boost our efforts - and, more importantly, improve the customer’s flexo products. In particular, we’re looking forward to attending the Tuesday, Oct. 10 speaker sessions, for which **flexographic printing** **processes are a key theme**.

As flexography continues to move forward, combining with digital as one printing unit, all 5 sessions on Tuesday are a must attend for anyone in the printing industry.

You’ll find us following this schedule that day:

A goal of FTA 2017 is to promote the following principles:

These are goals we try to achieve daily in our flexographic printing sleeves, cylinders, and plates. They’re also goals we try to achieve as a [family heritage business](https://luminite.com/customer-service/our-heritage/).

Flexographers in attendance this year will attend a variety of educational sessions over the 3-day experience, some of which will touch upon new technologies in the industry. The Tabletop Exhibit will feature 65 companies [demonstrating products](https://luminite.com/products/) in addition to offering one-on-one problem solving. We will be at booth 217.
