HEAR WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT thINK AHEAD!
"This has been a fantastic conference. It was my first year coming, and has been everything I heard it was and hoped it would be — print industry executives, competitors, non-competitors, all coming together and talking candidly about the industry, the issues we face today, and how they are handling them. It has sparked new ideas and inspiration and I’ll head back to the office with fresh perspective and insight that will help us move forward."
— Kirby Mathias, Plant Manager, Bookmasters
"Attending a conference like thINK allows me to ‘re-sharpen’ the saw so to speak, especially from being in an environment with the best of the best in the industry."
— Melvin Scott, Print Solutions, BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee
"This conference is different, more intimate, than your typical industry conference, with better networking opportunities that enable you to talk to people 1:1 and build genuine, sincere customer relationships on a more personal level. thINK Ahead is definitely different than any conference I’ve ever been to and the value of being here is clear."
— Mauro Valle, Regional Sales Manager & Solutions Manager with Platinum Partner Muller Martini
"While BCC Software has sponsored thINK Ahead every year, this is my first time to attend, and it has been more than I expected. When you hear ‘user conference’ you don’t think leadership conference, and that is exactly what this is, a conference where industry leaders come together to talk about where we going and how we can adapt and change to gain momentum."
— Matthew Lauer, Senior PreSales Engineer, Gold Partner BCC Software
"I’ve attended thINK every year. It is an extremely valuable conference for print industry leaders. Sessions are always relevant to what we are currently facing in the industry and attendees are open and honest and willing to share and discuss ideas. thINK Ahead is one event I don’t want to miss."
— Angela Hipelius, CEO, Liberty Creative Solutions
