Largest Inkjet Summit Ever Starts Monday

By Bob Neubauer

More than 135 print executives — including more than two dozen in-plant managers — are packing their bags right now for the 11^th annual Inkjet Summit, which will kick off Monday evening at the Hyatt Lost Pines, outside of Austin, Texas. This will be the largest Inkjet Summit yet, with more than 300 people on site, including representatives from the 57 sponsoring companies.

The Inkjet Summit will bring together hundreds of print providers for a three-day immersion into inkjet technology.

Organized by IPI's parent company, PRINTING United Alliance, the invitation-only event will provide attendees with an in-depth education about production inkjet printing. Conference Chair Marco Boer, VP of I.T. Strategies, will start the summit Monday night with an information-packed keynote exploring how the transition from offset to inkjet pages has begun, accelerated by the supply chain disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Also on the docket that night, Barb Pellow, of Pellow & Partners, will lead a panel discussion with four inkjet press users highlighting how inkjet has helped their businesses. Then Mark Michelson, editor of Printing Impressions, will talk with three inkjet users who will share how inkjet has impacted their overall workflows, productivity, and product applications.

For three days, in-plant managers will mingle with printing company owners and senior-level operations managers, sharing real-life experiences and enjoying a nonstop program of keynotes, user panel discussions, and expert consultant presentations. Sponsors will also present in-plant case studies featuring successful inkjet implementations.

Among the in-plants attending next week are managers from CHRISTUS Health, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Houston ISD, Intermountain Health, Mayo Clinic, Oregon State University, Penn State, the University of Oklahoma, Western and Southern Financial Group, Encompass Health, and the states of Colorado, Michigan, and Tennessee, to name a few.
