Printing Industries Alliance has announced that Heidelberg, Xeikon, Xerox and Konica Minolta are among the top presenters for its Digital Printing Think Tank III, scheduled for Thursday, February 21st 2019. Reservations are available for presentation slots, non-presentation sponsorships and attendees. The event will take place in Manhattan at Club 101, located at 101 Park Avenue, NY, NY at 40th Street.  The event will start at 8:30 with exhibit table set up, registration and continental breakfast. Presentations will start at 9:30. Panels will be after lunch with the day concluding with a 3pm to 4pm networking session with wine and beer.

The Digital Printers Panel will be made up of top execs from Quantum Group, Jurist Influence, Grandville Printing, Command Digital, Mercury and Sandy Alexander. The Moderator will be Patrick Henry from Printing Impressions. L&NW editor Steve Katz will be a part of the Editors Panel along with Henry and Richard Romano of What They Think.  

This event is the third Digital Print Think Tank. The first Think Tank was held in 2015; the second Think Tank was held in 2017. This year the focus is on increasing the number of printers; in addition to the NY, NJ, PA footprint printers from the Mid- Atlantic and Northeast regions and beyond are expected to be in attendance.

The event will cut across all digital printing technologies from toner to ink jet and all applications will be discussed including labels and packaging, wide format, direct mail and books. In addition to presentations there will be discussion panels that will include a panel of digital printers and end-users and also a panel of digital press manufacturers.

Printers and others registering for the event will pay a discounted rate of a $109.  Printers have asked us to hold this digital printing forum.  After multiple technical advances and evolutions, they want an update which allows them to make side-by-side comparisons and find out which press should be their next digital purchase. UPM Raflatac has just been added to the list of non-presentation sponsors.
