Print Buyer Boot Camp!™
Monday, September 12th, 2011 | 9 am – 5 pm
Print Buyer Boot Camp!™ is a Print Buyers International (PBI) program developed to serve professionals who work with commercial printers. This unique curriculum was developed by PBI’s founder, Margie Dana, and industry expert Frank Romano, to help provide new print buyers, print designers, and marketers – as well as new sales and service reps – with vital information and insights that they can put to use immediately.
The curriculum covers not only the major printing processes, paper issues, industry terminology, and current trends, but it also educates attendees about how best to work with printers. An overview of the industry is always a part of Boot Camp. We believe that perspective gives all of us the best view from which to do our work. Attendees of Boot Camp will gain a broad knowledge base about today’s printing industry and a roadmap for working effectively – and harmoniously – with printers.
