Is print ready to keep the pace?
Digital Smart Factory Conference

Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport
Orlando, Florida | August 15-16, 2000

Over $9 Billion dollars of systemic cost found in the North American graphic communications industry, by some estimates, can be freed up by computer integrated manufacturing, and networked production and supply chain management techniques. Changes brought on by Desktop Publishing and CTP pale in comparison.

With price pressures holding pricing down and material and labor costs on the rise, there is only one place to turn for improved profits: productivity.

Join top technologists and strategic planners from leading printing, pre-media, and publishing companies around the world at the Digital Smart Factory Conference, for an in-depth look at:

  • E-Manufacturing
  • Industry Architecture
  • Process Control and Automation
  • Electronic Content Management & Delivery
