WhatTheyThink Wraps 2007 Webinar Season with The Frank Romano Show Sponsored by Press-sense
One Hour of Entertaining Commentary on Industry Issues and Events
January 10, 2008. Lexington, KY. WhatTheyThink.com, the leading news and analysis site for the printing and publishing industries, wrapped up its busy 2007 webinar season with a return of The Frank Romano Show Tuesday, December 18, 2007. Sponsored by Press-sense, the session was a blend of education and entertainment. Romano was joined by The Industry Measure's Richard Romano and NAPL's Howie Fenton for this year-end event.
"We have had our busiest webinar season ever," said Randy Davidson, President, WhatTheyThink. "Wrapping the season with Romano's unique infotainment blend was the perfect finish to the season. We appreciate Press-sense sponsoring this event, which allowed us to present it at no charge."
"In addition to the insight shared by Richard and Howie," said Romano, "we also had great questions from the audience, always an important part of these interactive sessions. Our contest to identify an ancient piece of printing technology was also fun, and it took most of the session for a listener to get it right, and then two listeners came in with the answer at the same time, receiving a free version of the new edition of International Paper's Pocket Pal."
Frank Romano has annoyed the printing and publishing industries for over 40 years. Many know him as the editor of the International Paper Pocket Pal, or have read one of the hundreds of articles he has written. He is the author of over 44 books, including the 10,000-term Encyclopedia of Graphic Communications, authored with his son, Richard Romano, the standard reference in the field. He has been quoted in many newspapers and publications, as well as on TV and radio.
Fenton, the Senior Digital Technologies/Production Consultant for NAPL, consults for graphic arts organizations throughout North America and will bring a grassroots perspective to the session. Richard Romano has been involved in a number of national surveys on the industry in his role a The Industry Measure and brings a more macro perspective.
"We expect our 2008 webinar season to be even busier," added Davidson, "beginning with a session on January 23rd, Magical Marketing Collateral: How Digital Has Changed Everything, sponsored by HP. There is still limited sponsorship availability for these popular events, but the schedule is quickly filling up."
