Dscoop (Digital Solutions Cooperative) is introducing in 2014 a special limited Partner level for first-timers. This new package welcomes new Partners to the Dscoop community and allows companies to gain exposure to their target audience of HP Graphic Arts users at Dscoop9: Break the Mold, March 6-8, 2014 in Orlando, FL.

Dscoop also announced opportunities for the Dscoop9 mobile app, a technology that allows Partners to take advantage of a far-reaching, cost-effective way of advertising their brand before, during and after the annual conference. The mobile app will be distributed via free download to all attendees and will be accessible on a variety of platforms.

By engaging with Dscoop members, Partners gain direct access to HP Graphic Arts users who make the final decision to purchase products that make their businesses more profitable.

To maximize the Partner experience, a number of Partnership opportunities are available year-round. A Dscoop Partnership also allows for increased exposure in North America and throughout the digital printing industry. For a full list of Partnership levels, visit dscoop.org and download the 2014 North America Prospectus.

Prospective Partners are encouraged to act quickly as space for sponsorship opportunities is limited and sells out quickly. For more information about how to get involved, contact Rebecca Baker, Dscoop sales manager, at [email protected].
