Paparozzi and Schnoll to Headline EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK Conference at GRAPH EXPO 2010

Following these two general baseline-setting sessions, the Conference will then focus on new era technology including: a review of digital print technology by InfoTrends Group Director Jim Hamilton; a rundown on trends in offset by consultant Ray Prince; ways that print can come alive by consultant Hal Hinderliter; "What Kind of a Printer Do You Want to Be-Quality or Commodity" alternative and industry programs probed by David Hunter, Principal of the Pilot Marketing Group; and, a review of IT trends and necessities by ConsultWare Principal Don Goldman.

A feature presentation Printers Panel moderated by NAPL's Howie Fenton will offer practical insight into how to achieve success with a mix of press technologies. Printer panelists will include a digital specialist (operates only digital print equipment), a hybrid digital/offset printer, a digital label printer, a packaging printer, a DI printer, and an all-offset printer.

Afternoon sessions will be "how to" tutorials that get down to the nitty-gritty of how to harness the technology to cost-effectively produce an end product that provides a competitive edge and profit.

The formal Conference sessions end with a presentation of the MUST SEE 'EMS technology products and services exhibited at GRAPH EXPO that have been selected by a panel of 16 print industry consultants, educators and trade magazine editors as the most compelling and important for virtually all types of printers.

But the day is not over yet-following the MUST SEE 'EMS presentation, Cnference attendees will move to an adjacent area to toast the recognition recipients of the Positively Print program, which is designed to highlight companies that have conducted campaigns which feature the value of print in a competitive media world. The reception to be held until 7:00 p.m. with food and beverage provided by EFI, is designed to provide additional discussion opportunities with Conference speakers and for printers to network with their peers.

A preliminary agenda for the all day Conference can be found online at: www.graphexpo.com under 'Seminars." A final agenda will be posted in July.
