Seminar Attendee Feedback

The audience feedback was very positive about this latest PrintCity Alliance Moscow event:

·         Denis Strunnikov, ANTALIS Company, "It was all very well organized and more than relevant. A lot of aspects affect production efficiency. All the speakers communicated their messages to the audience clearly and competently. It was fascinating".

·         Alexander Maximov, Z-Production, "Thank you for the interesting seminar.  Relevant topics, interesting and useful speeches. On top of that, the event was organized perfectly well! I most sincerely wish PrintCity and Guild of Press Publishers further prosperity and success in uniting the Russian publishers!"

·         Evgeny Margolin, Novosti Poligrafii Magazine, "To my regret, I only managed to stay for the first two speeches, those of John Dangelmaier and Michael Nitsche. Both speeches were interesting in terms of the approaches to the issues discussed that are typical of the environment. In particular, the point is in the sustainable constituent part of polygraphic production, which has yet to become a topical issue for most manufacturers as well as consumers of printed products".

·         Ludmila Zagumennova, Chekhov Polygraphic Factory, "Thank you very much for the seminar, which was held at a high professional level. The participants presented a great deal of scientific and practical information of current interest".
