Join us in Pittsburgh for NIP24 and Digital Fabrication 2008!

If you work in the fields of digital printing, digital fabrication, or any related technology, and you are looking for the best training, exposure to cutting edge advances in technology and/or to expand your professional network, NIP24 and Digital Fabrication 2008 are the conferences to attend!

We’ve made some changes to the program this year; please take a moment to read this notice to find out what is new.

Two days of short courses followed by four FULL days of technical sessions and net- working events: The quality and breadth of the technical papers remains the same, but this year we’ve decided to end the conference on Thursday—a stimulating and engaging content-packed day that includes: • Four tracks of technical sessions; • The Interactive Paper Session with lunch provided; • A special panel discussion on Digital Packaging; • An exciting afternoon plenary; and • A Farewell Reception for one last round of networking opportunities. See details of the whole week beginning on page 3.

Exhibit Social Hour: Tuesday evening join colleagues for beer and chips on the exhibit hall floor.

Special pre-conference Short Course on Digital Packaging: Learn about packaging workflow and production, including package design processes, software usage, basic manufacturing processes, equipment requirements of packagers, customization and variable data printing needs, and what packaging buyers are looking for in new and useful features. See page 21 for details.

In addition to the new features, this year will continue the great traditions of • a rich array of informative short courses with a 25% discount given to those who take three courses or more and $50 course fees for students • high-quality exhibits • five timely keynotes • informative technical papers grouped into four daily tracks • an interactive panel on the Environmental and Reliability Challenges of Electrophotographic and Ink Jet Printing • the annual Intellectual Property panel • the Welcome Reception at the Westin Hotel and the Conference Reception at the Heinz History Center • the Print Gallery • a single fee that gives you access to the full conference program (separate fee required for short courses)

We look forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh!

Short Course Program

This year’s NIP/DF Tutorial Program offers a wide range of introductory and advanced top- ics in the fields of nonimpact printing and digital fabrication. Most of the tutorial instructors are internationally recognized experts in their field and are dedicated to promoting the un- derstanding and advancement of imaging science and technology. In addition to being able to ask questions during the oral presentation, every attendee will receive a copy of the in- structors’ notes/slides to take home. IS&T members and non-members are encouraged to sign up in advance to ensure that courses run.

Special Offer: Sign up for three or more tutorials and receive 25% off the total member or non-member fee.

Students may take any tutorial for $50. Additional 25% discount does not apply.

Note: IS&T reserves the right to cancel short courses in the event of insufficient advance registration. Please indicate your interest early. Any prerequisites are noted in the description.

SPECIAL SATURDAY TUTORIAL PACKAGING FOR DIGITAL PRINTERS

Saturday, Sept. 6, 2008 9 AM to 4 PM lunch with fellow attendees and the instructor is included in the fee for this course Be a partner with potential packaging customers— learn their practices and technologies.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Packaging’s strong emphasis on decorating grows to deliver more and more impact at the point of sale. Be part of that expansion by learning what is important in packaging: • Packaging’s roles, particularly as the silent salesperson • The packaging development process and how decorating fits in • Decorating options that answer needs • Major packaging types—what materials are involved, how they fit their role • Paperboard, folding cartons, corrugated boxes; Plastics and flexible packaging • Labels and labeling techniques • Laws and Regulations • Packaging workflow and the role of printing in packaging • Opportunities for digital printing in packaging; customization

This special tutorial is being taught by instructors of the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP), the professional educational organization of the packaging community. Each year, IoPP teaches more than 200 packaging professionals through its educational pro- grams. This condensed, focused tutorial brings digital printers what they need to understand in an industry with its own jargon and priori- ties.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: • Printing industry professionals looking at opportunities for value addition in packaging • Engineers and scientists interested in learning the characteristics of materials, media, and workflow in packaging • Managers who want a better understanding of packaging
