SGIA’s PDAA Graphics Application Zone (Booth #1240) will return to the 2013 SGIA Expo (Orlando, October 23–25) to give attendees the opportunity to learn about new techniques and materials used in this dynamic segment of the specialty graphics industry.

The PDAA Zone is entirely interactive — highlights include:

• Hands-On Education:Get out of your seat and grab a squeegee. Try your own skills and even get tips and tricks from installation experts.
• Face-to-Face Demonstrations:Live demonstrations, informative presentations and hands-on vinyl installation opportunities.
• Ask the Installer:Talk one-on-one with certified graphics installers to ask questions about anything installation: Media, equipment, designs, technique, and so much more!
• Strong Networking:Meet industry experts, business owners and installers before, during and after the presentations. Compare stories about techniques, unique installations and business tips in this Zone dedicated completely to installers.

Zone sponsors include Avery Dennison, Kay Premium Marking Films, MACtac/Morgan Adhesives Company and Ritrama Inc.

For the first time, a PDAA Master Certification test will be held the day before the Expo opens, on October 22.
