The first annual Print Oasis Conference (April 2002) was created by Print Buyers Online.com (a free, educational e-community) in response to the overwhelming requests of our print buyer members. Just like our first eight conferences, the 2010 seminars, speakers, dates, and location will be developed based on specific member suggestions and requests.

The seminars will be given by a variety of industry experts. The panel discussions will include seasoned print buyers, production managers, printers, and suppliers.

Print Oasis 2010 will also feature over 40 exhibitors, including paper companies, top technology firms, proofing suppliers, digital printing suppliers, printing companies, etc.
