June is one of my favorite months for many reasons, the first of which is our annual Women Influencers photo shoot that we held in New York City last week. Can’t believe this is our 6th year. Next month’s cover and feature story will be exceptional, as are our 2019 Women Influencers. The anticipation builds for our reveal of this year’s honorees which we’ll do online about July 10th, so make sure to mark your calendar. And don’t miss the behind-the-scenes video showcasing the photo shoot. It allows viewers great perspective and insight into the entire production and features interviews with the influencers discussing a variety of topics relevant to the dealer channel.
Speaking of video, we’re busy working on our first video series that will delve into the burning questions dealers ponder as they navigate today’s changing SMB landscape. Sponsored by Clover Imaging Group, the series will be the first of many new video productions we have planned for the second half of the year.
Next up, we kick it into high style as we head to Barcelona to attend ITMA 2019 Garment & Textile Exposition, a first for The Cannata Report team. In recent years we have partnered with EFI on creations designed by Carol Cannata, and our attendance at the expo and meetings with the EFI Reggiani team will give her a broader understanding of the technology and capabilities for future textile printed projects.
By the end of this busy month, look for a notice about our first ever podcast, produced in partnership with Panasonic. We are excited to bring our content to the podcast airwaves and will provide more details in the weeks ahead.
This month we’ll close our Annual Dealer Survey. Thank you to all who have completed the Survey, and for those who haven’t yet, a scant few weeks remain to take part. In addition to feedback on your business, remember participation allows you to cast your votes for the Frank Awards.
If you haven’t already, make your plans to attend our 34th Annual Awards & Charities Dinner, November 7th at The Madison Hotel in Morristown (details are on our website under “Events”). We hope to see you there, and we’ll see you on the road.
