A company might want to become a marketing service provider or they may want to move to a true Print-On-Demand model or they may want to re-engineer customer processes to create new value or they may want to find out about new opportunities in packaging. And the AppForum can show them how.”
“This webinar will give folks insight into all the exciting new information they can expect to learn at this year’s event, how vital it will be for them in order to stay ahead of their competition, and how these three days can make a lasting, positive impact on their success. AppForum truly is one of the most valuable events for people who want to grow business and revenue with digital printing."
