Attendance grew 20% since last year with over 700 industry professionals, including over 450 print buyers, marketers and creatives attending the conference, held Sunday, February 11th through Wednesday, February 14th at the Paris Las Vegas hotel. “This conference continues to grow and expand each year and we’re very proud of its continued success,” said Suzanne Morgan, president and founder of Print Buyers Online.com and PCPI, hosts of the annual event. “Print buyers are often overlooked and this conference presents them with the resources, information and camaraderie that they are seeking.
