Increasing Your Value by Networking for Success and Creating

Innovative Solutions

Print Buyer Panel Session: a panel of print buyers will present how they found a new job, received promotions and improved their status in their company and in the print industry by implementing innovative solutions 

 

Come to this session to learn unique ways that you can promote yourself and protect your job.

 

One print buyer implemented highly creative networking solutions to shift his work status from unemployed to employed at an excellent company. Another received a promotion and significantly increased her status as a recognized leader in the printing industry including being elected to the Board of Directors for a major sustainability movement. Another print buyer gained huge recognition in an article that was sent to several million people for his sustainability efforts on behalf of his company.
