Konica Minolta Disrupts LA
After entering the 3D printing business last June with two high-end 3D printers, Konica announced it would begin selling an entry-level product next month called the Cube 3D printer. Kern explained that the company saw the need for a less-expensive 3D product for the K-12 and higher-ed markets.
In addition to product launches, trend forecasting and reports on company growth, the KMBS conference featured keynotes from entrepreneur Robert Herjavec from ABC's Shark Tank and David Feherty, golf champion and star of the Golf Channel's Feherty. There were also numerous educational sessions covering topics like Cloud technology, technology trends in education, selling with social media, leading change in your organization and mastering the new rules of sales and service.
