FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does the worldwide print market look like?

Gartner analysts estimate that the worldwide print market spend is $156 million with approximately $96 billion, or 1-3% of annual revenues, spent on office document printing. Despite all the talk about the "paperless office," most organizations still conduct large and important parts of their business on paper. Paper documents continue to underlie many core organizational processes, including transactions. The focus of the Print and Imaging Summit is insight into reducing output spending by trimming printer, copier and fax fleets, purchasing competitively, and effectively managing the fleet over time.

Why participate?

We believe that this is a critical window of opportunity for Vendors to play a significant consultative role for organizations seeking to acquire the best print technologies and efficiencies. Surprisingly, printer, fax and copier Vendors can help reduce the business dependence on paper-based processes in ways that no other Vendors can. Process changes recommended by these Vendors should be coordinated with a top-down business process re-engineering effort.
That's why being a participating Vendor at the Print & Imaging Summit is an important business decision - it's the only event that combines an influential audience, an effective presentation format, and access to Gartner analysts and other thought leaders in the print and imaging space.

What are the advantages of the Vision Events model over others?

There are several major advantages, but key to our winning "formula" is that the quality and quantity of the audience is always a known variable. Print & Imaging Summit guarantees a prequalified audience of Senior IT and business executives. We know who's coming, and so do you.

At a Vision Event, we also provide the format to meet with specific IT decision-makers in Case Study Appointments, one-on-ones at the Print & Imaging Pavilion™, at Sessions and through a series of networking events. The Agenda is designed and managed so the time you spend with prospects and customers is highly-structured. Every aspect of the event is carefully planned to ensure Technology Provider satisfaction and success at a level of customization and personalized service that maximizes your ROI.

How and why does Vision Events attract hosted Decision-Makers?

Our dedicated Audience Acquisition Team reaches out to enterprise decision-makers in office and production print via phone and face-to-face meetings. Prior to the Summit, we are in constant contact with these decision-makers in order to help facilitate their personal productivity during their Summit experience. Our Summit invitation list is created based on input from Gartner analysts in the print space, leading vendors, event partners, and our own proprietary market research.
The invited target audience includes qualified senior level decision-makers from mid to large size enterprises and will include those responsible for office and production print areas. Attendees will have responsibility for selecting Case Study Appointments based upon their current technology needs and upcoming IT initiatives. They can also quickly create a short list of preferred vendor partners for subsequent One-on-One discussions. In effect, senior decision-makers can request to meet with specific companies- and Vendors can request to meet with particular hosted decision-makers.

During the Summit, hundreds of One-on-One Meetings take place and they serve as the perfect follow-up to the case study appointments.
