Canon and Heidelberg are Latest Presenters to Join Digital Print Think Tank II
NEW YORK — May 19, 2017 — Printing Industries Alliance has announced that its Digital Print Think Tank II on July 26, 2017, has a growing list of presentation sponsors including Canon, Heidelberg, Xerox, HP and Konica Minolta. Prime presentation slots are still available. Call or email Marty Maloney at (203) 912-0804 or m.maloney@pialliance.org
The event will take place at Club 101, located at 101 Park Avenue, NY, NY at 40th Street. Mark Michelson, Editor-in-Chief, Printing Impressions, the event’s lead moderator, will be joined by expert panelists, speakers and presenters. Over 100 printers will hear the latest updates and options for all areas of digital printing including toner, inkjet production, label and packaging and wide-format. A digital experience printers panel will feature top management from printers large and small; including Mike Graff, CEO of Sandy Alexander; and Cheryl Kahanek, President, President Marketing Solutions Group, EarthColor.
Marty Maloney, Executive Vice President, Printing Industries Alliance stated “it has been over a year since our first Think Tank and printers are requesting an update. They like our format which allows them to make side-by-side comparisons and find out which press should be their next digital purchase.
In addition for the first time, we are inviting all members of the industry trade press to attend as our guests. It is common for some presenters to have press announcements one to two months prior to a major tradeshow, such as PRINT 17 which starts on September 10th. Editors will have the opportunity to write digital printing updates prior to the show.”
A new tier of sponsorship is also being added to the event. This new tier will be a non-presentation sponsorship that will give supporting vendors a reserved table for five persons, an in-room small perimeter table to sell as well as display literature and an opportunity to speak on a panel. Complete details of both sponsorships are found below.
The event will cut across all digital printing technologies from the simplest to ink jet production and all applications will be discussed including direct mail, books, labels and packaging and wide-format. The presentations will be interspersed by discussion panels that will include a panel of digital printers and also a panel of digital press manufacturers, as well as a panel of suppliers that support digital printing.
Presentation sponsors will typically be press manufacturers and non-presentation sponsors will be paper, finishing, software, color and others supporting the digital print industry.

The last, Think Tank held in October, 2015 (18 months ago) had an audience of well over 100 printers from the metro NY and NJ areas. We believe we will definitely exceed that number. Printers have asked us to hold this digital printing forum. After multiple evolutions at drupa and GRAPH EXPO, they want an update which allows them to make side-by-side comparisons and find out which press should be their next digital press.
