Scheduled to speak at the event about the importance of innovations are two trailblazers in the industry: Chuck Richard, vice president of Outsell, and Brian Massey of Conversion Sciences. In addition, Mimeo has agreed to open its plant to attendees for a tour on the evening of November 8.
With 30 years of experience in strategic planning, investment banking, consulting, and market analysis, Chuck Richard will be offering up some of his knowledge to attendees during his panel session.

Andy Nied, vice president of global production, says, “This tour will demonstrate how our proprietary technology and print production platform is used to produce thousands of unique customer orders each day.” Mimeo has capitalized on the changing market, and now Converge participants will have a chance to see their success for themselves.
