This February, Kristen will be speaking at SPIRE. Hosted by Printing United Alliance, they describe this invitation and member-only event as “a unique network of CEOs and top executives from industry leaders in retail, point-of-purchase, OEM, transit, outdoor and similar graphic solutions. The SPIRE group convenes annually to learn about emerging trends and industry conditions, gain insight on where to take their businesses, share experiences with similarly focused peers, and enjoy the camaraderie of colleagues and friends.”
