It was another great event at Nanina’s In the Park in Belleville, New Jersey hosted by Frank Cannata, president of Marketing Research Consultants. It’s hard to believe this has been going on for 27 years. It’s the one industry event that still brings together so many different segments of the industry—manufacturers, dealers, leasing companies, BTA, the occasional journalist like myself, etc. It truly is the must-attend event of the year. It comes down to good people, good food, and an entertaining awards presentation. This year’s award winners include:
- Printer Manufacturer of the Year – Lexmark International
- MFP A4 Manufacturer of the Year – Konica Minolta Business Solutions
- First in Class – Toshiba America Business Solutions
- Executive of the Year – Rick Taylor, President & CEO, Konica Minolta Business Solutions
- The Week in Imaging’s Elite Independent Dealer of the Year – Fraser Advanced Information Systems, Reading, PA
- Lifetime Achievement Award – Haruo Murase, Chairman, Canon Marketing Japan, Canon, Inc.
