Last week Book Business and sister publication Printing Impressions held the Digital Book Printing Conference at New York City's Marriott Marquis. The first conference of its kind, the conference (AKA, DigiBook) brought together more than 150 book publishers, book manufacturers, and printing suppliers for a day of networking and education around digital printing.
The event provided a platform for attendees to connect with different players in the book publishing supply chain and learn about the opportunities digital printing presents for the industry.

In order to raise awareness for Calvin Klein's new jeans line, it used QR Codes to deliver behind the scene edgy content. By making the video content exclusively mobile, users were forced to scan the QR Code to get the controversial footage of Lara Stone.
