Missed Opportunities: The GRAPH EXPO Edition
I was fortunate to get to spend parts of two days at GRAPH EXPO this year at McCormick Place in Chicago. I think it is commonly held as one of, if not THE, most important show in our beloved industry. I got to sit on the "Market Your Printing Company" panel which was very lively and had some interesting perspectives on the subject—which I will try to cover in a subsequent post. I also made my GRAPH EXPO solo debut in a Tuesday morning session about Savvy Selling in the Tech Economy. I promised a few weeks ago I would deliver a memorable presentation, and I am sad to say I think I did not, but I’ll let you know when I get the assessments back in three weeks.
