Momentum in Print

Momentum in Print 2006

In January 2006, Adobe sponsored Momentum in Print, a symposium that focused on present and future challenges and opportunities in the printing industry. More than 400 print professionals, creatives, designers, educators, partners, and representatives from key trade associations attended the San Francisco event. Participants learned about the latest technologies impacting the industry, how customers' expectations are evolving, and which business models are most effective in the midst of change. For those who missed a session or were unable to attend the event this year, we've provided videos of key General Session presentations as well as PDF slide decks from select Tutorial Sessions:
