PRINTING United, originally scheduled to take place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta on October 21-23, 2020, will now move to a powerful online experience this fall due to constraints surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of all attending and involved with the show remains paramount. The decision to terminate the in-person expo comes after extensive conversations, up-to-the-minute surveys, and projections that the team has been navigating since the onset of the pandemic. Details regarding the new online event experience are forthcoming. PRINTING United has met continuously with experts from the Georgia World Congress Center, the city of Atlanta, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security specializing in mass gatherings, and local authorities on guidance and recommendations on best practices as related to all aspects of the event.

Worzalla, an employee-owned book printer specializing in high-quality children's books, cookbooks, and hard-cover best sellers, recently hosted 12 associates from some of the nation's most prominent book publishers at its "Print University". The program is a 3-day long intensive workshop designed to educate those who work in the publishing industry about the book manufacturing process. "Worzalla was pleased to welcome our publisher partners to Stevens Points and to our facilities. I enjoy sharing the book printing process and my team also learns a lot about what's new in publishing from our participants," said Richard Letchinger, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Worzalla and the organizer of Print University. "Especially since books sales have grown in the last few years, it is invaluable to able to exchange ideas with our partners about the future of our industries." This year's graduates included Madison Oxx and James Neel of HarperCollins Publishers, Vincent Perez and Luke McCord of Penguin Random House, Emily Kleinburg, Chris Leonowicz, and Carolyn Telesca of Macmillan, Rosalie Khan and Jennette Cross of Hachette, Maggie Moore and Rachael Marks of Abrams and Kenneth Burnett of Ramsey Solutions.
