The 4th Annual Conference
Do you still ask: Is it Close enough?
Three days that turn color from an opinion into a number your whole operation can stand behind.
Every ticket includes
6-month Packaging Inspector license
A $1,000 value. Your seat pays for itself before day one.
Who it’s for
- Brand owners and QA / packaging leads with a stake in third-party accuracy
- Print, prepress, and color managers — commercial, packaging, wide-format
- In-plant and corporate print operations spanning internal and outsourced work
- Dealers, distributors, and equipment partners in color-critical accounts
- G7 and color-management consultants and trainers
Leave with proof, not just notes.
Every day mixes panels, hands-on labs, and facilitated roundtables. No wall of keynotes. You leave with a written 90-day color conformance plan for your own operation.
