GOA visitors can meet vehicle wrapping professionals from North, Central and South America; as well as the Caribbean.
James Martin, GOA President says, “We are honored to host the exciting Wrap Cup Americas event for the second year at GOA. The first Wrap Cup Americas competition, held during GOA 2015 last year, was a huge hit. Those who witnessed the fast-paced artistry came away astounded at what these individuals can do.
“We invite you to see it for yourself this year, where we have no doubt visitors will again be impressed with the skillset and talent that this competition draws.”
