Inkjet Summit Just Three Months Away

In 2015, more than 100 printers packed the Inkjet Summit's opening session to hear conference chair Marco Boer's keynote presentation.

Production inkjet is growing fast and printers are eager to learn more. To quench their thirst for information, NAPCO Media (IPG's parent company) and nGage Events will hold the fourth annual Inkjet Summit April 18-20 at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

"The Inkjet Summit is what helped me really understand that inkjet wasn't as big a risk as I had heard it may be," praises Mike Lincoln, Colorado State Printer. "Talking to peers at the Inkjet Summit was the thing that really sold me on it."

The Inkjet Summit is an invitation-only, hosted event specifically designed for senior managers and business executives at printing companies and corporate enterprises who are looking to develop strategies, understand their options and make major investment decisions around production inkjet digital printing technology. Last year, more than a dozen in-plants attended.

"This event has become the single most important and focused digital production printer conference in the printing industry worldwide," says Marco Boer, vice president of IT Strategies and Inkjet Summit Conference Chair. "There is no other event that encourages as much interaction and sharing of knowledge of production inkjet technology among equipment and supplies manufacturers and those who are interested in adopting the technology or advancing their businesses."

While users are looking for information and guidance, suppliers are looking for ways to identify and develop relationships with these potential buyers specifically interested in production inkjet digital printing solutions. The Inkjet Summit is designed to meet both of these needs.

Here are some comments from past Inkjet Summit attendees:

"It is difficult to find time to be away from the office but the Inkjet Summit packed so much value into a few days that I would not hesitate to attend again. The one-on-one and small group exposure to the technology was extremely informative."  —Chris Zarnosky, President, Data Services Div., DirectMail.com

"This is an excellent venue and scheduled event where you can learn, question, and gain experience with other professionals. It saved multiple trips, and I was able to compile in a very short period of time a wide breadth of information. It compressed the learning curve from months to days."   —Dale Maloney, Senior Director, Marketing Communications, Fidelity Investments

"I found the Inkjet Summit to be an outstanding source of networking, keeping up with new technology, getting the answers to questions from well-versed people and discussing my list of questions that impact my business."   —Larry Durso, Director of Digital Operations, DG3

Printing company and corporate enterprise executives who attend have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with, and listen to focused case studies from, leading inkjet solution suppliers. They also learn from top industry experts and their peers through keynote sessions and workshops, real-life end user panels, and market segment-focused breakout sessions.
