Mark Michelson Will Be Event’s Lead Moderator                          

New York - Printing Industries Alliance, today announced that their DIGITAL PRINT THINK TANK TWO is being expanded and rescheduled for Wednesday, July 26^th, 2017. All of our original presentation sponsors are on board, our venue remains the same and Mark Michelson remains the event’s lead moderator.  The event will take place in Manhattan at Club 101, located at 101 Park Avenue, NY, NY at 40^th Street.  There are still prime presentation sponsor slots available. Call or email Marty Maloney today to schedule your slot at 203 912 0804 or [email protected]

Tim Freeman, President, Printing Industries Alliance explained the rescheduling; “Several of our committed presentation sponsors and a few of our prospective presentation sponsors said the spring period was inundated with events and they would prefer a later date.  Others stated that late July was perfect, being exactly six weeks in advance of PRINT 17 in Chicago and allowing them to make some advance announcements that they would  hesitate to make in April.  It is common for exhibitors to have press announcements one to two months prior to a major tradeshow such as PRINT 17. As a result of these requests we are inviting all of the industry trade press editors to attend our event as our guests”.

A new tier of sponsorship is also being added to the event.  This new tier will be a non-presentation sponsorship that will give supporting vendors a reserved table for five persons, an in-room small perimeter table to sell as well as display literature and an opportunity to speak on a panel. Complete details of both sponsorships are found below.

 The event will cut across all digital printing technologies from the simplest to ink jet and all applications will be discussed including direct mail, books, labels & packaging and wide format. The presentations will be interspersed by discussion panels that will include a panel of digital printers and also a panel of digital press manufacturers as well as a panel of suppliers that support digital printing. Mark Michelson, the Editor of Printing Impressions we be the lead panel moderator.

Presentation sponsors will typically be press manufacturers and non-presentation sponsors will be paper, finishing, software, color and others supporting the digital print industry.

The last Think Tank held in October, 2015 had an audience of well over 100 printers from the metro NY and NJ area. We believe we will definitely exceed that number.  Printers have asked us to hold this digital printing forum.  After multiple evolutions at Drupa and Graph Expo they want an update which allows them to make side-by-side comparisons and find out which press should be their next digital press.
