Thayer Long, president of NPES, and Kelly Kilga, VP of meetings and events, discuss the top three initiatives being developed for this year's show in Chicago, which will be held from Sept. 10-14. Greater emphasis will be placed on showing printer attendees various ways that they can grow their businesses profitably, community-building events to enable peer-to-peer networking (including a party for all attendees at the House of Blues), and the overall learning experience that PRINT 17 will provide.
