You’ve sat through the vendor demos. You’ve read the headlines. You’re still asking: what does AI actually look like inside my shop on a Tuesday morning?

This session gives you a straight answer.

AI in the Print Shop is a no-fluff, practitioner-led working session built for print and packaging operations. We cut through the noise with an honest look at what’s real vs. what’s hype, a clear framework for identifying where AI belongs in your workflow — and hard lines around where it doesn’t.

You’ll leave with the vocabulary to evaluate vendors without getting spun, a strategic foundation to start without blowing your budget, and hands-on tools you can use the moment you log off.

What We’ll Cover:

• The Great Unmasking — What AI actually is (and isn’t) in a printing environment, in plain English
• The Human Boundary — Tasks AI is ready to own vs. high-touch decisions that must stay with your team
• The Readiness Audit — Data sovereignty, tribal knowledge risk, and mapping your process flows before you spend a dollar
• The Vendor Litmus Test — Three non-negotiable questions every printer must ask before signing an AI contract
• The Monday Morning Kit — Live prompt examples and role-specific Copilot Quick Starts for CSRs and Estimators

Every Registrant Receives:

• Print-Specific Prompt Starter Kit — 10 field-tested prompts for common print scenarios, from clarifying incomplete specs to drafting job delay notifications
• AI Readiness Scorecard — A one-page self-assessment to evaluate your shop’s data and process health before investing in new technology
• 3-Question Vendor Cheat Sheet — The three questions that separate vendors who understand print from those who are winging it
• Role-Specific Copilot Quick Starts — Prompt templates purpose-built for CSRs and Estimators doing the actual work
