This conference gave everybody an opportunity to get engaged and it was one of the best conferences in 2009. Keep it in the existing format. This way communication and exchange of ideas is easier."

Stan Njmr, Presstek

I really like the educational sessions. I also like meeting all the people who are doing the same thing as me in other companies because I'm the only one doing print buying in my company. It's always helpful to hear how other people have dealt with some of the same issues I have."

Maria Cipicchio, Dana Farber

The group of speakers was excellent. I liked the variety and breadth."

Mark Gaff, Four Colour Print Group (Sponsor)

The conference was professional, relevant, timely for the state of the industry, educational and fun all at the same time! Great Job!

Christine Erna, CJE Consulting

Good pace this year. Enough time to attend sessions and get around. Keep up the good work! And we get a lot out of your Monday emails."

Sue Roberts, John Hancock Life

Margie, Barbara and everyone who played a role in producing this year's conference did a great job. The conference was educational and FUN. I hope I can attend Boot Camp next year! Thanks for a wonderful conference experience."

Susan Corlies

I most liked the speaker on Social Media. I think we all need to think about going into that direction to stay relevant."

Wendy Gloyd

Forget gold. Margie Dana and her Print Buyers International team treat their sponsors like platinum. This is our fourth year exhibiting, and our most successful to date. Despite the (understandably) suppressed attendance, the quality of our interaction with marketers and print buyers looking for new ideas at the show was sky-high, and, more important, unrushed and genuine. In a word: Printastico! See you in 2010, if not before…"

Ali Westcott, Director of Marketing & Communications, Concord Litho (Sponsor)

Another fabulous meeting, very different from past events. Emphasis on the buyers learning new skills in print and other media. Scary to hear spoken, but it's what I've actually been doing for a long time in my own career."

Diane Dragoff, United Way of Massachusetts Bay

Thanks for continuing to hold these conferences. I know it takes a lot out of you and your team, but if we didn't have these conferences, we'd have...nothing. No networking, no opportunities for learning. We can't do it without you."

Jill Alex Connolly, Analog Devices

I must say that I return to my office, my company and my job with a renewed sense of purpose. I'm so very glad I went to the conference this year. Every keynote, every session brought with it amazing information. Here's the "new math" that comes along with my renewed purpose…

Reality + Education - Fear + Swift Kick = Future

Excellent job to you and your team, and thanks for the opportunity to contribute. I look forward to next year, and hope we can have a session that takes a snapshot of where we are today and shows just how far the PBI family can move the needle in a year!

Arlene Ouellette, Brookstone

I just fell in love with your Conference."

Joe Suffoletto

Hope you're feeling pretty proud of yourself - pulling off a great, motivating, inspiring, fun-filled, educational conference. Best yet! And you can quote me on that!"

Linda Powers, Powers Design

Thanks again for a terrific conference. My brain's been buzzing with inspiration and ideas to pursue!"

Donna McElligott, Howard Printing Inc

…This is just a short note to say thanks and "great job!" No kidding, the best show we have been to in a long time, as it focuses on exactly what we need, to reach out to print buyers."

Jim Madigan, Battlefield Graphics (Sponsor)

Thanks for a great show! …We had great discussions with around 20 companies and look forward to returning in a couple weeks to have follow-on meetings… I found the Social Media information extremely informative personally - and appreciated your including it."

Patrick Kremer, Mtivity (Sponsor)

Great show - hats off to your entire group. The best show we've exhibited at this year. Level of service to sponsors/attendees alike was terrific."

Susan Heitcamp, Messenger Press (Sponsor)

I did enjoy the conference very much -- every session had valuable information. And I understand the benefits of being at the Westford....your plan of keeping most activities in the same room to encourage interaction with the sponsors worked well – we were able to maximize our time and exposure."
