Association of Imaging Executives announces AIE Output Summit at PMA 2010

Sponsored by the Eastman Kodak Co., HP Co., and Xerox Corp., the AIE Output Summit will take an in-depth look at the future of photographic output and the potential it holds for imaging professionals. The top digital printing companies in the world will discuss visions of the current market, changing behavioral patterns of customers, emerging markets, and how imaging businesses can take advantage of current and forthcoming profit vehicles. Leaders of the most pioneering imaging facilities from around the globe will explain how they have altered course to adapt to changes in technology and customer behavior, and where they see paths to success in this new environment.

The AIE Output Summit begins at 2:00 p.m. with industry addresses from sponsoring firms Eastman Kodak, HP, and Xerox. Then, a panel discussion will occur with executives from big volume facilities such as Burrell Colour Imaging, White House Custom Color, Miller’s Professional Imaging, Photo Create, and District Photo. These leading companies will discuss how they have redirected efforts to keep up with constantly changing technology and consumer behavior, what new markets are being pursued, what new products are doing well and which ones are dying, and from where new customers are coming.

Following the panel discussion, attendees will learn how to seize emerging business models during a panel conversation between industry innovators, moderated by industry analyst Paul Worthington of The 6Sight Report.

Scott Brownstein will conclude the meeting with final thoughts on the exciting future ahead in the world of digital output.
