The GAMAA representatives are: Ferag Australia trade general manager and GAMAA president Ian Martin, Kodak Australia and New Zealand managing director Adrian Fleming, Fuji Xerox Australia national commercial print manager Brett Maishmann and Muller Martini Australia director Livio Barbagallo.

They will be joined by representation from the PIAA.

Ian Martin said GAMAA was ready to make the event an international success.

"There is a lot of pre-planning to do in order to ensure PacPrint13 meets the changing needs of the market and is representative of the directions the industry is heading in," he said.

"The GAMAA members who are appointed to the PacPrint13 board are looking forward to working with their Printing Industries counterparts to ensure that PacPrint13 remains a major event on the industry calendar, not just in Australia, but throughout the Asia Pacific region."

The show is scheduled to be held in Melbourne on 21–25 May 2013, managed by Reed Exhibitions.

Martin added that the success of previous trade shows would serve as inspiration for PacPrint 2013.   

"PrintEx11 was a very successful show because it involved a number of elements including industry seminars that enabled visitors to get the most out of their attendance," he said.
