MISSION VIEJO, Calif.--July 23, 2004-- The annual convention for PIP Printing & Document Services will be the backdrop to host many leading vendors in the print industry. The Vendor Show will be held at the Long Beach Convention Center, Aug. 19-20. The Vendor Show provides exhibitors with the opportunity to participate in one of the largest shows in the print industry while having interaction with a select audience. "The Vendor Show is an excellent opportunity for us to thank the franchisees and to meet individual owners from a variety of marketplaces. The face-to-face interaction enables us to learn more about the franchisees and helps us customize programs to support their individual requirements," said Brian Steck, key account manager for Konica Minolta Business Solutions. Other companies joining a distinguished list of over 100 exhibitors includes Heidelberg, Xerox, Canon, Adobe, Konica Minolta, Hewlett-Packard and many more. "Our goal at PIP Printing & Document Services is to keep our franchisees apprised of the latest products and tools that suit their business model. The Vendor Show gives our vendors the opportunity to meet the franchisees and showcase those products and services in one comprehensive venue. Our franchisees look forward to seeing all of the vendors under one roof, and appreciate the opportunity to learn about new technology that they otherwise could not research on their own," said Leasa Eddy, PIP's manager of training and technology resources. The Vendor Show, along with a variety of seminars and breakout sessions, provide educational training in a social environment that draws attendees year after year.
