PHILADELPHIA and MARSHFIELD, MA—January 25, 2016—The fourth annual Inkjet Summit will be held at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, April 18-20, 2016. The Inkjet Summit is an invitation-only, hosted event specifically designed for senior managers and business executives at printing companies and corporate enterprises who are looking to develop strategies, understand their options and make major investment decisions around production inkjet digital printing technology.

"This event has become the single most important and focused digital production printer conference in the printing industry worldwide. There is no other event that encourages as much interaction and sharing of knowledge of production inkjet technology among equipment and supplies manufacturers and those who are interested in adopting the technology or advancing their businesses," commented Marco Boer, vice president of IT Strategies and Inkjet Summit Conference Chair.

While users are looking for information and guidance, suppliers are looking for ways to identify and develop relationships with these potential buyers specifically interested in production inkjet digital printing solutions. The Inkjet Summit is designed to meet both of these needs.

Here are some comments from past Inkjet Summit attendees:

"The Inkjet Summit is what helped me really understand that inkjet wasn't as big a risk as I had heard it may be. Talking to peers at the Inkjet Summit was the thing that really sold me on it." —Mike Lincoln, State Printer, State of Colorado

"It is difficult to find time to be away from the office but the Inkjet Summit packed so much value into a few days that I would not hesitate to attend again. The one-on-one and small group exposure to the technology was extremely informative." —Chris Zarnosky, president, Data Services Div., DirectMail.com

"This is an excellent venue and scheduled event where you can learn, question, and gain experience with other professionals. It saved multiple trips, and I was able to compile in a very short period of time a wide breadth of information. It compressed the learning curve from months to days." —Dale Maloney, senior director, marketing communications, Fidelity Investments

"I found the Inkjet Summit to be an outstanding source of networking, keeping up with new technology, getting the answers to questions from well-versed people and discussing my list of questions that impact my business." —Larry Durso, director of digital operations, DG3
