"The work, dedication, and leadership of the volunteer Board was inspiring and was the driver behind our success. The new leadership team will no doubt continue to keep thINK innovative and industry-leading."

thINK 2017, the group's most successful event to date, attracted more than 500 production print professionals, analysts, partners, and press, establishing it as the largest inkjet user group in the world for the third consecutive year. Across the three-day event, over 40 sessions, designed for all levels of inkjet experience and awareness, were held, encouraging attendees to educate themselves on the technology and meet with peers from across the country.
