Pittsburgh, PA -- Printing executives looking to discuss issues surrounding information age strategy, sales challenges, and company image have been given a new forum by the Printing Industries of America. Its Leadership Summit takes place on November 7, 2009, in advance of the Converge Conference in Orlando, Florida.
 
The Summit will give executives the chance to explore the management challenges tied to offering new services, including personalized communications. Executives will network with peers in round table forums to openly discuss these challenges.  Each table will have a facilitator who has successfully executed the particular discipline and at least one conference speaker to add additional insight.
 
The topics include Corporate Self Marketing, moderated by Mark Stevens, MSCO (keynote speaker and author of Your Marketing Sucks); New Technology in the World of Cross Media, moderated by Robert Kraft, First Edge Solutions; and Organizing and Stimulating Sales in a New Business Paradigm, moderated by Peter Winters, The Winters Group.  
 
The Converge Conference --The Next Generation of Print and Communication Services -- is designed for the new breed of company that is integrating the components of conventional and digital print, Web technology, automated workflow, personalized cross-media campaigns, and more.
 
The conference is presented in partnership with IPA, the Association of Graphic Solutions Providers, Digital Printing Council, Direct Marketing Association (DMA), and Printing Impressions magazine.
