invaluable resource, giving the attendee great information and input on the

“EFI’s Connect is the one event I never miss. I have attended every year since
it started. In addition to the informative and relevant information I get during
the sessions, I always pick up valuable tips I can use from other attendees
during sessions and the networking opportunities. I am already registered to
attend my 16th Connect in January 2016 and can’t wait for what I’ll learn.”
Randy Herron, President Herron Printing & Graphics
“EFI’ Connect is a great event with plenty of useful seminars and workshops,
and it’s rich with opportunities to interact with collagues and get questions
answered. It was very professionally organized, and I am looking forward to
return next year.”

“Many of the tips and tricks I learned at Connect were things that make me
more productive. I learned how to save time by automating production on
repetitive booklet types, for example, by dropping files to Fiery Hot Folders
containing print settings, including Fiery Impose templates.”
Condy Ley, Production Specialist
Allied Reliability Group
“Connect continues to be a great venue to meet many needs of the users —
from hands-on software use, to consulting resources, and of course user-touser exchange of ideas.”
