About CARDTREX North America
CardTREX North America is a one-and-a-half day conference that focuses on regional challenges and opportunities for card manufacturers, personalizers and suppliers along with the latest trends, technology and innovations. This event is geared to technical and production staffs as well as executives and business owners in the card industry. As the industry continues to evolve with new and emerging technologies and markets, companies are faced with evaluating their strategies for the future. CardTREX North America delivers greater education and networking on a regional level.
Our 2019 event will be September 25-26, 2019, and will include a tour of Muhlbauer and also feature a networking dinner and our signature Networking Zone – exhibit stations that allows card suppliers an opportunity to display product literature and other information for card manufacturers, giving production/operations personnel who typically attend CardTREX a chance to meet their suppliers. The event also features a Speed Share session, where exhibitors talk about their products, followed by a vote on the best product of the show.
CardTREX North America is open to ICMA members and non-members, however, ICMA members receive significant discounts. Non-members are encouraged to attend to see what ICMA events have to offer.
