Let's Get Loud Recap
Our member appreciation event, Let's Get Loud, held at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland was a "rocking" success!
We stared the night by once again welcoming James Pyle to perform. He took the main stage and, as always, was absolutely wonderful. Many people stuck around to hear him perform before heading to the VIP reception.
We opened up the VIP area at 6pm and attendees made their way up to the 3rd floor Bridge. There, they were greeted by Kirsten Werner-Reyes of Americas Print Show, and her husband Wally Reyes, drummer for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted band Chicago.
Andrew Schall, President of GMA, had a chance to livestream with Deborah Corn of Print Media Centr to talk about Print Across America and International Print Day. The biggest reason for the event was to "Get Loud About Print" and celebrate the industry coming together. It was a great way to show our members our appreciation for all that they do.
Attendees in the VIP section had a chance to mingle with Wally and have a cocktail or two before experiencing The Power of Rock in the attached theater.
Once the show had ended, attendees made their way down to the main floor to enjoy James' performance, more cocktails and delicious appetizers. Additional attendees had arrived at 7pm, and people were excited to see familiar faces and have a chance to network and catch up before the museum opened.
Andrew welcomed everyone and thanked our sponsors and James for coming out to play. He also applauded Deborah's Print Across America initiative and how important it is to build awareness for our industry. Kirsten then took the stage and thanked sponsors and got everybody excited for Americas Print Show 24 taking place in Cleveland on May 8-9, 2024.
The museum then came to life with rock music, and attendees were free to explore the museum and check out all of the previous inductees into the Hall of Fame, as well as nominate and vote on their favorite artists for next year's class.
Everyone had a terrific night, and gave rave reviews on the event. Thank you to everyone who attended as well as our generous sponsors.
