It's been an active and busy spring for both myself and the label industry. The "public health crisis" that sent everyone home and kept them there for two years is over, and to celebrate, the doors to trade shows, conferences and open house events are open.The masks are off, hands extended for shaking, and airports and airlines are seemingly full once again. I've been back on the road. And as anxious and unprepared as I felt prior, I'm now reflecting on some great trips. My spring travels took me to three different types of cities and three different types of events — FTA Forum & INFOFLEX in Columbus, OH, the inaugural Labelexpo Mexico in Mexico City, and the Xeikon Cafe in the Chicago metro area. My summary takeaway, for those who may remain hesitant, is to get up and go. It's time.Accept the invitations to open house events and demo centers, take your boss up on an offer to go to a trade show, visit with a favorite or prospective customer or supplier.
