TAGA Annual Technical Conference
Every year, TAGA hosts the TAGA Annual Technical Conference. The TAGA conference is the main destination for the student chapters and individual industry members; providing attendees the opportunity to learn about the latest technology and research in the graphic arts industry. The TAGA conference is also where the RyeTAGA team presents our student produced research journal, competing against other student chapters from around the world for the Helmut Kipphan Cup (awarded to the best overall publication).
