PrintFest 2009 Postponed

Monday 24. November 2008 - Due to the uncertain economy and other factors outside of our control, Cal Events has decided to postpone PrintFest 2009, scheduled to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center March 27th and 28th, 2009.

This was a difficult decision, but we believe it is in the best interests of our valued Exhibitors, Sponsors and Attendees.

Although several Exhibitors and Sponsors have already committed to the show, many of them are participating in smaller exhibits and at lower sponsorship levels, while still others are delaying decisions due largely to corporate budget cutbacks. This makes it difficult to adequately promote the show and generate the type of attendance and ROI our sponsors expect for their investment.

We firmly believe in the show, and emphasize that this is a postponement,
not a cancellation.
We are committed to holding PrintFest 2010 at the Anaheim Convention Center, March 26th and 27th, 2010. As in the past, PrintFest 2010 will be combined with the Direct Marketing Expo operated by the DMA of Southern California, continuing its unique position as the first ever combined print and marketing show and conference, bringing Vendors, Printers, Marketers, Creative Professionals and Print Buyers all together under one roof.

Cal Events will begin planning immediately for 2010 in order to take advantage of what we believe will be a stabilized and somewhat improved economy by that time.
With this extra lead time and the support of our partners, we believe that PrintFest 2010 will be the biggest and best PrintFest ever.
