This year’s conference is scheduled for Thursday through Sunday, Oct. 21–24 at the Chatham Bars Inn, at the elbow of Cape Cod in Chatham, MA, where a block of group priced rooms has been held.

The conference is hosted by Printing Industries of New England and co-hosted by the Association of Graphic Communications, Printing & Imaging Association of New York State, and the Graphic Arts Association.

The annual event is an opportunity for print and graphic communications company owners, senior managers and department heads to step away from the daily rigors of work and acquire greater perspective on the industry in a relaxed and informal setting.

Held at resort destinations throughout New England each year, the conference includes a host of leisurely activities for industry managers and their companions.

In addition to keynote talks led by the featured speakers and informal roundtable and panel discussions, an excursion aboard the Cape Cod Railroad, and an evening of live theater has been planned. The conference opens with the annual golf tournament at noon Thursday at the highly rated Captains Golf Course in Brewster.

Sponsors at this point for the conference include Xerox, Utica Insurance, Komori, KBA, Mabbett & Associates and United Insurance with others expected.
