Superstorm Sandy postponed it, but couldn’t stop it: the Long Island Innovation forum, a special event to be presented on March 20, 2013 by Printing Industries Alliance (PIA).

The forum originally been had scheduled to take place on October 29, 2012, the fateful day when Sandy first made landfall along the East Coast.  But, on October 26, PIA president Tim Freeman advised his members that the projected path of the oncoming storm left no choice but to push back the event to a later and safer date.

On March 20, all who come to the Holiday Inn in Planview, NY from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. can catch up with a program that offers a mini-expo, educational sessions, and networking opportunities. The purpose, says PIA, is to “showcase innovative technologies, new business concepts and creative ways to bring added value to your business.”

About two dozen exhibitors including EFI, HP, Konica Minolta, and Xerox will occupy a showcase area that also will feature an open bar and buffet. The educational sessions (topics to be announced) will be presented from 6:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.

Admission by pre-registration is $20; the fee is $30 at the door. To pre-register, download, complete. and return this form: PIA_LI_Innovation_Forum.registration.  You may also register online at www.PIAlliance.org; or call PIA at 800-777-4PIA.
