11th Annual Paper Show

Our Eleventh Annual Paper Show was a raging success! The entire evening was buzzing with excitement ? resounding with conversations between past work colleagues and associates, inquiries about the paper samples and prevailing print trends and compliments about the appealing venue. In general there was a positive vibe about the entire evening with conjecture about an up-swing in the economy and the future of our industry.

The show was very well attended with 174 pre-registered guests, 30 exhibitors, plus about 50 walk-ins ? bringing us to a grand total of about 250 people in the Wine & Food Center. A very nice turn-out!

The reception hall was teaming with activity during the entire evening as the exhibitors each had good visibility, engaged in insightful conversations with attendees and gave away virtually all their samples.

We received much positive feedback about this attractive and upscale venue, cordial and prompt service, and the delicious gourmet food. Overall we received many comments for hopes that we don’t change a thing for next year. I think we all agree the O.C. Wine & Food Center was absolutely the best place for us to be!
