What’s On
What’s on, where, and when – the Print21 industry Diary
Covid is being beaten back by vaccinations across the world, and 2022 is seeing the return of in- person trade events here and overseas. There may be protocols to follow, and good luck getting in anywhere if you are not vaccinated, but the world of trade shows, conferences, forums and user groups is back. The Print21 Diary has all the main events, and we look forward to seeing many of you at
many of them. These are the main events we know about so far, but others will come on stream soon, including vendor events. Watch this space.
