EFI Connect Packs 'Em in at the Wynn

A capacity crowd of EFI customers, partners, employees and industry media attended this year's EFI Connect users' conference. The Jan. 20-23 event at the Wynn Las Vegas offered one of the best lineups of print industry leadership sessions, technical education, and business management workshops ever offered at a graphic arts technology users' group gathering. This year's conference also served as the launch for a new evolution in EFI's workflow software strategy.

EFI recorded a double-digit increase in the percentage of customers registering for this year's conference, which was expected to draw more than 1,500 attendees. Printing companies from 25 different countries attended to gain key insights on how their EFI print technology investments fuel greater productivity, greater efficiencies and better business results.

This year's conference featured more than 200 educational sessions on business management, sales, marketing and production technology, as well as special keynote presentations from Thomas Quinlan, CEO of RR Donnelley & Sons; Avi Reichental, CEO of 3D Systems; and Andrew Paparozzi, chief economist of print industry association Epicomm.
