PINCThe 9th Annual PINC Show, May 1, San Francisco, is full of information and education for designers and printers, from social media to green design and paper selection. The Sustainability track includes sessions like:
  • Making a Difference. Designing for Social Responsibility;  Moderator: Amy Gustincic (Satellite Design)
  • Web to Print: Advantages and Benefits to Today's Marketers and Their Enterprise; Speaker: Favianna Rodriguez (Tumis Inc.)
  • Sustainable Green Printers; Presenters: Gerry Bonetto, Ph.D. (Printing Industries of California) and Jim Duffy (Alonzo Printing)
  • Green Graphic Design; Presenter: Brian Dougherty (Celery Design)
  • The Many Hues of Green: Paper and More; Moderator: Sabine Lenz (PaperSpecs)
In parallel to the PINC show is a 2-day seminar called Printers24 | Preparing for the Upturn, to be held April 30 and May 1. The timing is good; rather than continuing to wallow in the depths, let's look at how we can be ready for the turn.
Our industry is in the throes of the worst economic downturn our generation has ever seen. In response, we have assembled the most basic of subjects, and the presenters who have mastered them. In 24 hours we will cover pricing strategies, sales, marketing, sustainability and an economic overview.
