The Right Words with Sarah Schwartz, Editor in Chief, Stationery Trends

With stationery and all social expression product, the ultimate goal is always connection — whether it is one-to-one through a greeting card or ciphering that perfect solution to an ongoing problem in a journal. The job as the maker, then, is to facilitate this for people they have never met and will most likely never meet — and also form a connection with the audience she organically grows. From verbiage to illustration and graphics, product details to packaging, what is driving today’s most dynamic, cutting-edge finds? And, beyond your product, what does your brand say about you? From mission statement to cause-related promotions, consumers are becoming more and more discerning about those makers they choose to support and follow. Sarah will provide a deep dive into what is capturing consumer attention — and sales.

Registration is now open. Tickets are $199 for GCA Members and $299 for non-members. GCA offers an Early Bird registration now through Sep. 1, 2022. For more information on the full agenda, click here.
