Call for Print Buyer Guest Speakers
At our annual Print Oasis Print Buyers Conference and Exhibit our print buyer panels have historically received the highest ratings of all our dynamic sessions. Our conference attendees love to listen to - and learn from - their peers, so this year we will be providing even more opportunities for them to do so!
We are now finalizing our programming for our May 17-19, 2009 Print Oasis conference -and we are looking for speakers to share solutions. All experience levels are welcomed, from novice to senior buyer. Here are a few subjects that may be addressed at this year's conference:
- Cost saving solutions
- Best practices for sustainability in print
- Digital and variable data printing
- Workflow bottlenecks and solutions
- Operational efficiencies, being "lean-and-mean"
- Your own unique contributions!
If you would like to be considered as a speaker, please email Anita Howard at ahoward@pcpi.org at your earliest convenience. Please include your name, title, contact information and brief summary of your experience. Email up to two paragraphs describing the topic that you would you like to present. Feel free to keep it brief, as we will be in touch for additional details if your topic is selected. Be advised that our speaker spots will fill up quickly.
Have a lovely week!
