I just love it when an event shatters my expectations, and printForum 2012 was no exception. I had no idea what to expect from an event put on by a printer that invited clients and prospects to pay $50 each to attend an event that ran from noon to 8 p.m. last Wednesday in downtown Chicago. I figured there would be 100 or so people, and that the breakout sessions would be thinly veiled sales pitches by partner vendors such as GPA and HP.
