FTA launches quarterly regional meetup series

The Foundation of Flexographic Technical Association has launched a new series of quarterly member meetups for 2026, designed to strengthen peer connections within the flexographic community and provide direct engagement with FTA leadership and staff.

The meetups will rotate across US regions throughout the year, with formats ranging from informal dinners and social gatherings to town hall-style discussions. Attendance is free for both members and non-members, though registration is required.

The first event, Break Bread with FTA, takes place on March 31 at La Parolaccia Osteria in Long Beach, California, beginning at 7pm CT. Subsequent meetups are planned for Dallas/Fort Worth in June, Chicago in September and Indianapolis in November.

'These regional gatherings are intended to bring the flexographic community together in an informal environment where members can build relationships, exchange perspectives and stay engaged with the work shaping the industry,' the association said.
