Delegates to Tour Local Printer Sites - Nextgen Printing and W.A. Wilde Newton, MA, February 26, 2008 – Questex Media Group’s ON DEMAND Conference & Exposition (ondemandexpo.com), the pre-eminent event for commercial printers, publishers, and in-plant printing professionals, will host international printing delegations from China, Italy, Japan, and Russia. Senior executives from the different regions will join more than 10,000 printing professionals and print service providers as they discover new strategies to find, attract, retain, and grow new business with digital technology. The ON DEMAND Conference & Exposition will take place at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center from March 4-6, with tutorials on Monday, March 3, 2008. “Representatives from over 60 countries will attend the conference and expo this year, making ON DEMAND one of the leading digital printing events worldwide,” commented Debra Brown, Event Director, ON DEMAND Conference & Expo. “We are excited to host the delegations and we look forward to their participation.” “China, Japan, and Russia represent three emerging markets for digital printing. We are expecting strong growth rates from these regions over the next five years,” commented Charlie Pesko, Executive Vice President, Questex Media. “Italy represents the fourth largest economy and accounts for 8.7% of Print-On-Demand installments in Europe. We expect, as the economy improves, Italy will reach its full potential as a market leader.” During their visit, the international delegates will tour the ON DEMAND show floor to see and touch the latest in digital printing technology, attend the dynamic keynote sessions, receive a market briefing by InfoTrends, and tour local printing sites, Nextgen Printing and W.A. Wilde. Nextgen, a full service printing, marketing, and communications company located in Canton, MA, will discuss its continuing transition from print provider to an “all-under-one-roof” marketing solutions provider. “We are excited to be sharing our experience with this international delegation. We look forward to not only showing these folks what we do, but also listening to and learning from them as well,” said John Rothstein, Nextgen’s President. The international delegation will see Nextgen’s 90 experienced employees utilizing state-of-the-art technology to help customers market to, print for, and communicate with their customers. Nextgen’s total solution package makes the best use of traditional offset printing, digital equipment for variable data messaging, wide format printing, along with a full bindery and in-house mailing and fulfillment services. “We are very proud that Questex Media Group’s ON DEMAND Conference & Exposition has chosen Nextgen to host this prestigious international delegation,” added Rothstein.
