ARLINGTON, Va. (January 17, 2006) — Print Buyers Online.com, a free, educational e-community for print buyers, print communications professionals and their suppliers in partnership with Print Communications Professionals International (PCPI), the premier association dedicated to print buyers, will feature keynote speaker Andrew D. Paparozzi at their annual Print Oasis Print Buyers Conference & Exhibit on April 2-5, 2006 at The Venetian Resort, Hotel, Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Suzanne Morgan, president and founder of Print Buyers Online.com and PCPI, commented, “Andrew Paparozzi is the Vice President and Chief Economist for NAPL (National Association of Printing Leadership), a not-for-profit trade association with over 1,000 members in the commercial printing industry. His keynote address will divulge what print buyers need to know about where the industry is and where it’s going. He will cover business principles that are easily understood and can be applied by attendees to this year’s Print Oasis conference.” Among the topics Mr. Paparozzi will cover: The effects of the Internet and alternative media. Which print markets are being affected most. And how, if at all, printers are responding. Printing industry consolidation. The numbers, the trends, and what they really mean. How successful printers get closer to clients, learn their businesses, and help them achieve their communication goals. What keeps your printer up at night. Biggest concerns, the growing competitiveness and complexity of the printing business, and the challenge of ensuring the changes redefining print are opportunities and not threats—because they can be either. Ms. Morgan added that in addition to Mr. Paparozzi, Print Oasis 2006 has selected the industry’s top independent speakers and experts, guaranteeing high-quality advice and education.
