Learn Design, Photo, and Prepress Skills for Cross-Media Marketing at PRINT 13

PRINT13_4colorDESIGNERS. For the past few years, companies that formerly specialized in printing documents, marketing collateral, and publications have revamped their businesses to include graphic communications and marketing support services. So the upcoming PRINT 13 Conference covers much more than printing (and the future of printing).  From September 8-12 at Chicago’s McCormick Place, the PRINT 13 conference will explore new and integrated solutions for print, online, and mobile communications.

Many PRINT 13 sessions can help marketing managers and designers better understand new tactics and tools for executing innovative, multi-channel marketing campaigns.

The Chicago chapter of the American Marketing Association is sponsoring a Marketing Pavilion at PRINT 13. In this “how-to” hub of marketing education, creative professionals can mingle with marketers and marketing-service providers, share ideas, listen to expert presentations, and see product demonstrations. The Marketing Theater, sponsored by Canvas magazine, will provide comprehensive resources, answers, and insights on such topics as integrated media services, digital marketing, direct mail, lead generation, analytics, list brokers, and online presentations.

“For marketing and creative professionals, PRINT 13 is a ‘must attend’ event,” said Ralph Nappi, president of the Graphic Arts Show Company (GASC) that organizes the conference.  Along with the Marketing Pavilion there will be presentations and demonstrations of the latest marketing, design, and prepress technologies.  In the prepress/software workflow and design area, you can see the latest in web-to-print technologies, web-design tools, stock photography, and software for design, illustration, scanning, color management, and proofing.
