Held each spring, the event features the latest products showcasing the breadth of the sign and visual communications industry. The Expo also offers a wide array of education and networking events. There was something for everyone.

It looks as though there are some positive signs in the wind in the April Wall Street Journal/Vistage survey of the state of the economy. Confidence is good, and trends are up.

Just got this email for nominees for Digital Publishing Solutions Innovation of the Year Awards for 2013. I may be biased, but there are some fantastic entries here. Amazingly, a full 57% (8 out of 14) of them are done using Roland DG technology (we had to ask behind the scenes as it’s not always mentioned below). We truly work with some astonishingly creative professionals, who push the boundaries of what’s possible. By putting “magical” products in the hands of masters, and you get some unbelievably good outcomes. My hat is off to all of our Roland DG pro’s! Chapeau!

CEO Confidence is on the rise, which should be a good indicator or data point for looking into the near future. Since Vistage tends to focus on small/medium business, it’s certainly good to see this trend as most sign shops would fall into this category.

What a year! I hope all of you had a happy holiday season and are refreshed for the new year. As we wrap up all the last details and put 2012 in the rearview mirror, it’s important to acknowledge all the hard work that went into it as we gear up for 2013. To our employees, dealers, vendor partners and international GlobalOne friends: Thank you all for contributing and helping us perform as a team. We’re better, together. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

El Orange County Register ha realizado una encuesta de “Mejores Lugares para Trabajar” y hoy publicó la lista de ganadores. Luego de encuestar a más de 22.000 empleados de cientos de empresas de Orange County, Roland fue nombrada uno de los Mejores Lugares para Trabajar en Orange County, en la categoría de pequeñas empresas. Esta es la cuarta vez que obtenemos este galardón en los últimos cinco años (no participamos en el 2009 ya que estábamos bastante ocupados con la difícil economía...)

We just wrapped up our big fall show – SGIA – for color, UV, cutter & engraving products. And with the recent introduction of the new Pro4 XR-640 at the center, it looked like it would be a good show. Turns out, it was. With record attendance over 22,000, the show was packed. Not just at the Roland DGA booth, but the whole show seemed to be buzzing with energy. It was as good a show as I’ve seen in some time, and many exhibitors I spoke with at the show echoed the same sentiment. 18%+ of attendees were international. What’s more, some 38% of all attendees were there for the 1st time. What a great first impression they must have had!
