Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - Printing Industries of America is proud to announce that the 2011 Binding Industries Association (BIA) Annual Conference will be taking place May 23-25, 2011, at the Omni ChampionsGate hotel in ChampionsGate, Florida. This signature conference is designed to bring together management from trade binderies, graphic finishing, information packaging, custom loose-leaf manufacturing, and the suppliers to those industries. This conference will provide companies with the resources, tools, and connections they need to succeed.

The 2011 BIA Conference offers more than a dozen sessions, informative roundtables, plant tours featuring real world applications, and outstanding network opportunities. Attendees will have the rare opportunity to tour both SunDance Marketing Solutions and NIS Print, one of Florida’s top presentation packaging and graphic arts companies. SunDance Marketing Solutions will provide a look into their expertise that can help binders leverage multi-channel marketing to widen their customer base. At NIS Print, attendees will see first-hand how to create eye-catching publications and booklets that will help them stand apart from the pack. These tours are a one-of-a-kind experience.

Rounding out the conference are sessions that will help attendees plan for the future while improving work morale, efficiency, and profits. Some of the sessions to look forward to are Sales Compensation and Production Incentive Plans: Ideas to Revise Yours; Future of the Printed Product; and No Excuse! Incorporating Core Values, Accountability, and Balance into Your Life and Career.

This conference provides an atmosphere that is conducive to making strong connections that can help take a business to the next level. Past attendee Sonja Nagy of the Texas Bindery Service said, "The opportunity presented by attending this conference to network with industry peers and brainstorm ideas about different operating techniques was an experience that I haven’t been able to get anywhere else. I was able to meet with executives from across the nation in my industry and get multiple perspectives on the value of processes to industry operations."

The 2011 BIA Conference is an asset for binders, graphic finishers, and custom loose-leaf manufacturers.
