Prior PAL Boot camp sessions have been well-received. According to one attendee, Ross Van Burkleo, Senior Sales Manager, Digital and Wide Format, for Neenah Paper, “The RIT Digital Boot Camp was the right mix of industry knowledge, technical data and hands on training with all the leading manufacturers’ equipment.  The people that hosted us were outstanding to interact with and the course was very well organized.  We even took a tour of the RIT campus to see what the next generation is going to create and inspire.”

The Security Print Workshop is an excellent source of information. It is led by people who have a lifetime of experience and have seen all the major changes in the industry, from using lithographic stones to the digital technology of today. RIT brings in experts from all over the country to share their real life experiences in security printing. This workshop has made me more aware of the many aspects of security printing. The setting is perfect for learning since it is sponsored by a major university and they do it in a way that is personal and inspiring. I would recommend this workshop to anyone involved in security printing in order to enrich their career and help them create a more secure product that stops counterfeiters in their tracks.

ACTEGA was incredibly overwhelmed and extends its sincere appreciation to the entire staff at Rochester Institute of Technology that assisted in creating one of the most successful National Sales Meetings we have had to date.  From the event planning to the printing application knowledge, the on-hand staff could not have provided a more energetic but relaxed environment for our group.  ACTEGA holds RIT in high regards with respect to its services relevant to our industry and will certainly recommend its services to industry partners.
