NEWTON, MA--(Marketwire - February 26, 2008) - Questex Media Group's ON DEMAND Conference &
Exposition (www.ondemandexpo.com), the preeminent event for commercial
printers, publishers, and in-plant printing professionals, will host
international printing delegations from China, Italy, Japan and Russia.
Senior executives from the different regions will join more than 10,000
printing professionals and print service providers as they discover new
strategies to find, attract, retain and grow new business with digital
technology. The ON DEMAND Conference & Exposition will take place at the
Boston Convention & Exhibition Center from March 4-6, with tutorials on
Monday, March 3, 2008.
"Representatives from over 60 countries will attend the conference and expo
this year, making ON DEMAND one of the leading digital printing events
worldwide," commented Debra Brown, Event Director, ON DEMAND Conference &
Expo. "We are excited to host the delegations and look forward to their
participation."
"China, Japan and Russia represent three emerging markets for digital
printing. We are expecting strong growth rates from these regions over the
next five years," commented Charlie Pesko, Executive Vice President,
Questex Media. "Italy represents the fourth largest economy and represents
8.7 percent of print on demand installments in Europe. We expect, as the
economy improves, Italy will reach its full potential as a market leader."
During their visit, the international delegates will tour the ON DEMAND
show floor to see and touch the latest in digital printing technology,
attend the dynamic keynote sessions, receive a market briefing by
InfoTrends, as well as tour local printing sites, Nextgen Printing and W.A.
Wilde.
Nextgen, a full service printing, marketing, and communications company,
located in Canton, MA, will discuss their continuing transition from print
provider to an "all-under-one-roof" marketing solutions provider.
"We are excited to be sharing our experience with this international
delegation. We look forward to not only showing these folks what we do, but
also listening to and learning from them as well," said John Rothstein,
Nextgen's President. The international delegation will see Nextgen's ninety
experienced employees utilizing state-of-the-art technology to help
customers market to, print for, and communicate with their customers.
Nextgen's total solution package makes the best use of traditional offset
printing, digital equipment for variable data messaging, wide format
printing, along with a full bindery and in-house mailing and fulfillment
services.
"We are very proud that Questex Media Group's ON DEMAND Conference &
Exposition has chosen Nextgen to host this prestigious international
delegation," added Rothstein.

marketing, technology solutions, direct mail, and fulfillment. However,

custom digital printing will be a growing segment of our W.A. Wilde's
