New Opportunities at i2002
New seminars and products abound at DMIA's Informservices 2002 (i2002), the Print Solutions Conference and Expo. Print Solutions' Official 2002 Show Guide™ is here to help you register for the event, locate exhibits and plan your schedule. i2002 will be held Oct. 15-17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. The event offers more than 400 manufacturer and supplier booths, 38 education sessions, three roundtables, and countless networking opportunities.
One of the show's new features is the Small Distributor CEO Summit. Created in response to distributor demand, the summit will include highly targeted education sessions and networking opportunities. It will feature a distributor issues panel, a roundtable, an education session about forming management advisory groups and more.
Also new at i2002, the education session "Planning and Executing a Winning E-Business Strategy" will show attendees how to create step-by-step plans for executing e-business initiatives. "Online Print Services--Finding Your Way" will review several solutions for online print services. "Off-The-Chart Customer Service Results" will offer insight into Gallup Poll's 20-year research of more than 1 billion customers. Other new sessions include "Selling Against the Majors," "What's Hot in Today's Label Market" and "Selling an 'End-to-End' Document Security Solution."
