ROCHESTER, NY—01/21/10—As a Gold Sponsor of PODi’s 8th Annual AppForum, Jan. 25-27 in Las Vegas, Kodak will demonstrate some of its latest products and solutions designed to help print service providers make the transition to marketing service providers. To support this initiative, a number of Kodak experts and customers will speak in the conference program and share strategies for developing successful digital printing projects.

Attendees will have the opportunity to see KODAK INSITE Campaign Management Solutions, which provide fully automated multi-channel marketing campaign management designed to increase the effectiveness and performance of diverse marketing campaigns.
