Honorees

Julie and Andy Plata
Co-CEOs, OutputLinks Communications Group

We are privileged to have the opportunity to honor Julie and Andy Plata at this year’s event. Their OutputLinks Communications Group serves the global corporate communications industry. As leaders in the field, with combined experience of more than 50 years, Andy and Julie Plata have served as advisors to many of the world’s major companies. In 2011, the Platas purchased American Printer, a 130+ year-old industry trade magazine. Historic issues of this publication form a substantial part of the Museum’s collections. The Platas brought American Printer into the 21st Century by converting it to an individualized “B2Me” format. Their dedication to advancing printing in the digital age continues to be an inspiration to the entire field.

Please join us for a delightful evening celebrating the Museum, our honorees, and the best of print culture. The event will feature mixing and mingling, in addition to dinner and drinks, a silent auction, and the opportunity to pull a print on an antique press.

Each year, The Printing Museum presents a vibrant program of rotating exhibitions, hands-on tours, and workshops. Please know that your support is crucial in sustaining the Museum’s educational programming, in addition to caring for the Museum’s significant collections of historical documents, presses, and other artifacts.

Even if you cannot attend, please consider making a 100% tax-deductible contribution in any amount.
