Sponsor Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Inkjet Summit?
The Inkjet Summit is a strategic business forum for print
providers, corporate executives, and vendors focused on inkjet
solutions. An invited audience of senior-level inkjet
decision-makers from large and midsize print providers and
corporate enterprises will join leading suppliers and industry
thought leaders to discuss the ground-breaking solutions to help
inkjet become a business driver within their organizations.
Building on the success of this meeting we envision a new community
of committed industry leaders who can advance the adoption and use
of inkjet technologies in new and exciting ways.
Why is this event different from other printing industry
events?
The Inkjet Summit is a hosted-buyer event that will assemble all
key players, including user organizations, technology
manufacturers, software providers and supplies vendors. The goal of
this meeting is to bring these leaders together to formalize
relationships across all elements of the supply chain in new and
exciting ways in order to further advance the use of inkjet
technologies in critical market segments. Rather than just another
tradeshow or exhibition, THE INKJET SUMMIT is focused on building
relationships so all members in these complex ecosystems can better
understand and advance their needs.

Which topics will be addressed?
At the general sessions, industry experts will address the
inkjet market forecast, trends and management best practices,
applications and implementation for today's technology world. The

What is a Boardroom/Case Study?
Sponsors have the opportunity to deliver a "Case Study"
presentation to the executive attendees in a private "Boardroom"
type of setting. These presentations are not sales pitches or
product demonstrations. Sponsors will discuss a specific client
they work with, their objectives and issues they faced, and how the
sponsor worked with them to overcome those issues and assisted them
with their inkjet strategy. It is an opportunity to engage a
small/focused audience in an interactive and problem-solving
environment.

A pre-arranged, private, sit-down meeting to discuss business
between buyers and sellers.
