Monday 19. April 2010 - Exclusive Pre-Expo Conference helps imagers maximize profitability

On top of showcasing the broadest range of specialty imaging technology and applications, the 2010 SGIA Expo (Las Vegas, October 13-15) will feature its first-ever Pre-Expo Business Development Conference – an educational event unlike any in the industry.

The all-new Pre-Expo Business Development Conference kicks off on Tuesday, October 12, 2010, the day before the Expo floor opens. The SGIA-exclusive half-day program focuses on maximizing profitability in specialty imaging, and will feature:

-General Session: 2010 SGIA SPIRE and nationally-acclaimed search marketing speaker, Heather Lutze, presents “Grasping the Value of Social Media & Web site Optimization.”

“The session on web searching, Facebook, and LinkedIn was most valuable. [Heather Lutze] made it very clear that we should take action to use these systems more,” said George Conant, President, Meisel after the successful SGIA SPIRE conference in February.

Educational opportunities continue the next two days (October 13-14) with 20-plus sessions focusing on the most current specialty imaging trends and business management solutions available today. Industry experts will present a variety of topics for all of the SGIA communities:
-Graphic and Sign

“We’re developing a program that really targets strategic business strategies,” said Dan Marx, SGIA’s Vice President of Markets and Technologies. “It’s what specialty imaging companies need to succeed in the rebounding economy.”
