We will kick off our conference on Sunday, September 12, 2021 at Quest Conference Center in its NEW location! This new location is located just behind the old location in the Polaris area of Westerville, OH. This new location boasts larger and updated rooms all on just one floor, beautiful views, ample parking and updated air quality systems in place.
By popular demand, we are excited to bring back Deborah Corn with Print Media Centr. Deborah will be featured in two sessions during our conference and we are looking forward to the latest updates with Project Peacock.
After a successful webinar he presented in April to our members, Bill Farquharson will be featured in two sessions over the course of the conference. His Sales Vault has been a great resource, and many members have already signed up for full use of the sales resources.
Back by popular request for the second year in a row, Mark Potter of Conduit, Inc. will be presenting where he sees areas of opportunity within the industry and how everyone can rebound after a tumultuous year.
A new presenter to our conference this year is Steve Anzalone of Anzalone Advisors. Steve is well versed in all aspects of HR and how to create a strong culture for your company. He is a former consultant with PIA, and specializes in operational assessments. He was formerly president of the HardingPoorman Group, a leading commercial printer, and now he owns his own consulting firm.
Mark Mosher will be speaking at our conference on the current state of Cyber Security and what steps you can take to keep your company and personal data safe.
Have lunch with the Experts! Sign up at registration to have lunch and topic-related discussion with one of our outstanding presenters. Learn more about cold calling from Bill Farquharson, or what print buyers are really thinking from Deborah Corn. Are the cyber-attacks we’re hearing so much about really new? Ask Mark Mosher over a salad and baked potato.
The conference will conclude with a celebration of the best of the best printing in Ohio, Michigan and Northern Kentucky. This gala event is the culmination of our regional awards ceremonies and will bring together the winners of those events to recognize the best in each category and ultimately the Best of Show in each of the four size divisions. You'll also see the Judge's and Rising Star Awards presented. Bring your artistic eye with you as you'll have the opportunity to choose this year's Grand Ceremony People's Choice Award.
