About:

ZBE's Chromira Users Group Summer Bash represents an important opportunity for Chromira owners and operators. During the three-day event, users get to learn more about new and current products, as well as make some strategic connections with other attendees.

In the first two days of the event, users are given the opportunity to advance their knowledge of digital imaging. ZBE employees and guest speakers hold seminars and interactive hands-on learning sessions about ZBE products (Chromiras, cutters, WorkStream software), industry perspective and other digital imaging subjects such as color management, networking, and marketing. Dick Stein of Stein Photography in Norwalk, OH has attended several Chromira Users Group events and has said in the past that he "came away with valuable information … The agenda was well planned and had something to offer everyone."

Through ZBE-sponsored social events, Chromira User Group attendees also get a chance to meet each other and network. It's a great opportunity to hear about other user experiences, solutions and observations in digital imaging. Said Brooks Clayton from Mid-South Color Lab in Jackson, TN, "It's all about relationships … sharing ideas with those who have chosen ZBE equipment … that's our future."

By the end of the Chromira Users Group Summer Bash, attendees have made valuable connections with other users and have gained useful knowledge that helps them navigate in their everyday digital imaging environments. Bob Grier of Colorich in San Diego, CA thought that the conference "was very informative and a bunch of fun. If you didn't go you missed it!"
