MADE Laboratory and Inktavo announce Print Hustlers Conference ’23, taking place Nov. 4-6 in Newport Beach, California.

The event, which is still accepting registrations, promises to provide great networking opportunities with industry peers, according to Ryan Moor, partner at MADE Lab. “The Print Hustlers conference speakers are packed full of knowledge, from brand building, [to] small- and large-scale operational effectiveness, and sales,” he says.

One element that Moor is particularly excited about is keynote speaker, Nigel Barker. Barker is a reality TV show personality, fashion photographer, author, spokesperson, filmmaker, and former model. “We are most excited to hear from Nigel Barker, who will provide the decoration industry unique insight to the fashion world,” says Moor “[We’re also excited to hear] from Michelle Moxley on AI and its opportunities and impacts to our industry.”

Spanning across three days, day one will find attendees at the Printavo/Inksoft user summit held at Liquid Graphics in Santa Ana, California. Day two will feature presentations from several speakers, including:

  • Keynote Speaker Nigel Barker
  • Jeffrey Paul of Youngone
  • Michelle Moxley R&D and Innovation Specialist
  • Kesney Muhammad of Big Printing
  • Steven Farag of Campus Ink and NIL Store
  • Emcee Justin Lawrence of Oklahoma Shirt Co.

Moor notes that goal of this year’s Print Hustlers conference is to push the boundaries. “[Our goal is to] help decorators step outside the realm of their operation and learn unique concepts and ideas from those who have done it, are doing it, and who are similar and are there attending the conference,” he explains.

Looking ahead to next year’s conference, Moor also offers a few teasers to look forward to. “We are excited to announce a Midwest/eastern time zone for next year’s conference at a new venue we have not been before,” he says. “Stay tuned — we will announce [it] at the conference and post on social after.”
