AMSP/NAPL/NAQP Executive Leadership Summit to Co-Locate with EFI Connect, Share Joint Sessions

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ—October 29, 2014—The AMSP/NAPL/NAQP Executive Leadership Summit, Jan. 19-21, 2015, at The Wynn hotel in Las Vegas, Nev., will offer a powerful educational experience for owners and senior staff of print, mail, marketing, data, and fulfillment companies. The conference will be co-located with the EFI Connect conference, Jan. 20-23, and both events will comprise individual programs while sharing several joint sessions, including the annual State of the Industry presentation. AMSP/NAPL/NAQP was created this year through the merger of the Association of Marketing Service Providers, National Association for Printing Leadership, and National Association of Quick Printers.

The Executive Leadership Summit will feature two targeted tracks: Strategic Planning and Sales. "The conference will provide the perfect opportunity to start the new year off by gathering your senior staff at a great offsite location, where you can focus on building a strategy and gain the knowledge and tools you need to implement your plan," noted AMSP/NAPL/NAQP COO Ken Garner.

"After attending the program’s Strategic Planning sessions and networking with other industry executives, attendees will be able to take advantage of time and space set aside each day for their team to meet and discuss how the information they learned can be applied to their businesses," he continued. "And our expert association consultants will be available to sit in and advise attendees as they identify top priorities and outline next steps." Consultant appointments are available free on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Executive Leadership Summit’s Strategic Planning track will help attendees evaluate their business, examine critical details, and build a successful strategy that will keep the senior management team focused on its goals. The Sales Track is designed for those who want to improve sales and develop new sales strategies that will increase revenue and build a stronger customer base.

The Executive Leadership Summit will combine all the features of the AMSP Winter Conference and NAPL Top Management Conference, plus much more―including sessions on specific issues that impact business leaders in print, mail, fulfillment, data, and marketing services, and a Vendor Showcase that will feature displays by 20 leading industry suppliers.
