If you work in the field of digital printing, digital fabrication, or any related technology, and are looking for the best training, exposure to cutting edge technology advances, and/or expand your professional network, then . . .

join us in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the 27th International Conference on Digital Printing Technologies (NIP27) and the 2011 Digital Fabrication Conference!

As digital printing continues to grow and expand into areas we never imagined 27 years ago, these collocated conferences offer participants the chance to learn about the latest technologies in the worlds of digital printing and fabrication. No other venue offers you the chance to attend vibrant sessions that present cutting- edge research findings under a single registration fee.

Publications Chairs Scott Silence and Paul Benning have developed an exception - al program to bring you presentations that both challenge and enlighten. Four content-packed days include: • Three days on which to pick from an in-depth array of 23 informative short courses • Four full days of multi-track technical sessions • Exhibitors who represent the companies who provide you with the services and products you need to succeed • Joint Interactive Paper and Demonstration Session and Print Gallery; this year the session will be held in the Exhibit Hall and will include a Happy Hour • Six keynote talks from world-reknown experts • Special Monday panel discussion on Improving the Velocity of Innovation • Wednesday afternoon roundtables on Technology and Application • Welcome and Conference Receptions • A Farewell Reception for one last round of networking opportunities

See details of the whole week beginning on page 16.

Please mark your calendars to join us in Minneapolis, Minnesota! We look forward to seeing you there.

SPECIAL EVENT

IMPROVING THE VELOCITY OF INNOVATION PANEL DISCUSSION Monday, October 3, 2011 4:00–5:30 PM Moderator: George Gibson, Xerox Corporation

Our industry has always been a hotbed of innovation. Innovation is a never-ending race however and the better you are at it, the bet - ter you have to be at it to distinguish yourself.

How to increase the pace and value of inno - vation in our companies is a challenge we all face. New techniques and “best practices” are developed at an astounding rate. How “Well, in our country,” said Alice, still pant - should we separate out those that are just ing a little, “you’d generally get to some - fads from those that actually can make a dif - where else—if you run very fast for a long ference in the lives of our customers—hence a time, as we’ve been doing.” difference in our company’s fortunes and in “A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. our own? “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If During this panel discussion we will hear a you want to get somewhere else, you must number of our industry’s most distinguished run at least twice as fast as that!” innovators tell you what they’ve seen that real - ly works. We will also count on the audience to become “panel members lite” and share their stories of success and failure. Our intent is that every participant comes away from our event with one or more techniques or strategies that they can imple - ment when they get home to improve their innovation game and that of their company.

Confirmed Panelists: Ramon Borrell, director R&D, Xaar, plc Eric Hanson, director, Commercial Print Engine Lab, Hewlett-Packard Company Jack Gormley, manager, Business Development, Performance Pigments Division, Sun Chemical Corp.

TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATION ROUNDTABLES Wednesday, October 5, 2011 4:00–5:30 PM

Session Chairs: Omer Gila, Hewlett-Packard Company, and George Gibson, Xerox Corporation

This year we are exploring a new type of event: moderated small group discussions. Durng this session, small groups of conference attendees will meet and explore a relatively narrowly-defined topic in detail. The goal is to integrate newly discovered and published data with the expertise of participants. While the discussion will begin with an exploration of several questions at the lead - ing edge of the discipline, it will move to accommodate the particular interests of the group members. You will have the opportunity to participate in any of the roundtables—and even to help set the agenda by suggesting a topic. A list of proposed topics will be sent out closer to the con - ference date, then these and any you suggest will be posted in the registration area with signup sheets. The first seven topics to reach full seating capacity will be held. Moderators and key research questions for each session will be posted 24 hours before the event. Please join us in ex - ploring this new way of building on our shared expertise.
