The annual EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK conference, celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, will focus on “Connecting Technology for Profit” when it convenes on October 14, 2006 at McCormick Place in Chicago, the day before opening of GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO 2006. The conference draws 200 or more industry professionals annually for a full day’s investigation of the hottest technological trends and opportunity areas likely to make news at the year’s foremost graphic communication exhibition. GRAPH EXPO and CONVERTING EXPO will run from October 15-18 at McCormick Place and is expected to draw nearly 40,000 participants, viewing more than 500 company exhibits that will occupy about 400,000 net square feet of display space. William Lamparter, Principal of PrintCom Consulting, will return as Chair of EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK 2006. As in the past, the program will combine plenary sessions with breakouts devoted to specific markets, technology areas or product groups. “The program will extend the overall theme of Connecting Technology for Profit into specific coverage of how technology affects markets, customers, services, products and people throughout the industry,” Lamparter said. Additional program details, speakers, and registration information will be posted later in the spring at www.gasc.org.
