Virtual Safari attendees are in for a real treat.” This year, 29 new hour-long ‘expeditions’ are being offered for all areas of the marketplace – including sessions geared towards university and higher learning students preparing to enter the graphic arts and printing industry.
Enfocus asked the most prominent experts in graphic arts to present at the week-long event, including Dr. Mark Bohan and Julie Shaffer, Vice Presidents at Printing Industries of America, and independent industry consultants and writers including Frank Romano, Richard Romano, Cory Sawatzki and many others. Participating vendors include experts from MediaBeacon, Hewlett Packard, CHILI Publish, MBO America, Ricoh, Ultimate TechnoGraphics, Tribay, Apago, Pilot Marketing, Printware, Amazing Print Tech, XChange US, Prisco Digital, Amazing Print Tech, All Systems Integration, CrossXColor, Standard Finishing Systems and Aleyant Systems.
Subjects and solutions to be covered include industry trends, workflow strategies and implementation techniques, colour management solutions, printing technologies, web-to-print, finishing solutions and much more. Whether professionals are implementing new systems, looking to optimize what they already have, or just want to learn about a subject, there are sessions for everyone, said Enfocus.
One of the new sessions this year turns the spotlight on professors from four of the top universities and colleges for the graphic arts. Michael Reiher of Enfocus will moderate as Frank Romano, Professor Emeritus of RIT; Dr. Harvey Levenson, Professor Emeritus of CalPoly; Dr. John Leininger, Professor, Clemson University; and Jason Lisi, Associate Professor, Ryerson University discuss an industry going through one of its most extreme, yet positive and exciting eras. The group will cover industry trends and new technologies in the context of what’s most important for graphic arts and visual communications students to know before entering the workforce.
Delivered in a roundtable format, this session is key for anyone who is planning a career in the graphic arts, as well as managers in the industry who want to understand more about the knowledge and skills universities are focusing on. “The Virtual Safari 2.0 tradeshow does not discriminate based on experience or industry segment,” Reiher added. “Our goal in providing this free, online event is to give everyone the opportunity to take their skills and understanding to the next level. We truly have something for everyone, and encourage attendees to sign up for more than one session.”
