The 35 topics and numerous sessions form the backdrop for you and your team to develop a lifetime of industry friends and colleagues to help you on your road to success. Supplier sponsors partner with printers to bring the best information for and about successful printing practices.

And, you can customize your schedule to meet your individual and company needs and interests.

Downturns? Maybe. Recession? Possibly. These questions are interesting, but it really doesn’t matter. As printers, we need to ask: What are we doing to prepare our people to outperform the competition? What are we doing right and should continue? What practices should we stop? What new directions should we begin? What trends are likely to affect us? What actions should we take? What changes in the economy can we capitalize upon?

These are the questions of winners. Offset and Beyond 2008 is the training ground for the winners!

Please join us.

Offset and Beyond 2008 will launch on April 26-29 in Schaumburg, IL. For more information, contact Justin Goldstein at jgoldstein@piagatf.org. PI
