What Attendees Say

Attendees have said many positive things about the conference. Here is a sample:

“If you are looking for an educational conference that can light a fire in your organization, this is it. I’ve attended six conferences and each has been uniquely beneficial. I attended the last one with a peer group and everyone left energized for change. If you are open to seeing your organization differently, attend this conference.”
Brian Clements, Chief Financial Officer, McGraphics Custom Print Finishing

“Impact has sent participants to the CI conference for the past 7 years and we have brought something back to help us improve every year. It has helped us in our manufacturing and office environment. We have transformed our culture of continuous improvement from what we have learned at the CI conference. We plan on attending every year. It is beneficial for anyone, at any level of an organization.”

“The Continuous Improvement Conference was one of the best conferences I have attended. Everything was top drawer including the keynote speakers, the conference workbook, and the breakout sessions. If fact, I came back with 12 pages of ideas and action items to consider implementing. Thank you for delivering and executing such a worthwhile event full of useful content.”
Bob LePard, Vice President of Manufacturing, Graphic Visual Solutions

“The conference was a complete success. I brought my new Director of Lean Manufacturing with me, who has virtually no printing experience, and he too came away enthused, motivated, and ready to hit the ground running. This was a perfect introduction for him into the world of Lean printing.”

Sandy Kampen, Continuous Improvement Manager, Suttle-Straus

“Smyth has gained a lot of positive information from this conference over the years and continues to do so; we have found very practical takeaways each year that we implement in our day-to-day continuous improvement efforts.”
William Denzen, General Manager, Smyth Companies

“At Wikoff Color, we started our Lean journey in 2000. I have benefited from being part of this journey from the beginning and have received training from many sources; however, the best conference I attend on Lean is Printing Industries of America’s Continuous Improvement Conference.”
