KEARNEY, MO - After a long summer of high anticipation, the In-Plant Printing and Mailing Association (IPMA) is thrilled to have Dr. Joe Webb take the stage and debut his final report on The State of the Industry: Outlooks, Challenges, and Opportunities survey at Graph Expo 2016 in Orlando, FL. during IPMA's luncheon on Sept. 24 from 11:45 a.m.- 12:30 p.m.

The final report, which is kindly sponsored by Canon U.S.A., Inc., will address central areas that matter most to in-plant professionals and will help department managers make key decisions for the future that will impact their bottom line. The survey was designed to ask participants a series of questions that have been carefully designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the industry's current state and to assess what lies ahead. The responses from the survey are used to implement new strategies, tools, and practices that in-plant professionals can use to leverage emerging industry trends and challenges to give them a competitive edge. Graph Expo attendees and survey participants will receive the full report on The State of the Industry: Outlook, Challenges, and Opportunities following Webb's presentation at Graph Expo.

"Research opportunities are a critical tool in understanding the direction the industry is headed. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, and when in-plants are provided with the tools needed to spot internal growth opportunities and avoid potential pitfalls, they are better positioned to maximize their value within their organization," said Hiro Imamura, vice president and general manager, Marketing, Business Imaging Solutions, Canon U.S.A., Inc.
