NNEP Embroidery & Digitizing Conference Heads to Indianapolis Sept. 13 and 15

KENT, Ohio-The National Network of Embroidery Professionals (NNEP) Embroidery & Digitizing Conference heads to Indianapolis Sept. 13 and 15. The event co-locates with THE NBM SHOW at the Indiana Convention Center.

The Indiana stop for the conference offers two days of classes surrounding THE NBM SHOW, first on Sept. 13 and then again on Sept. 15. NNEP recommends the conference for producers who specialize in embroidery, as well as decorators looking to improve profits, production workflow, and digitizing capabilities. Other discipline-specific topics covered during the conference include embroidery machine maintenance, pricing for profit, appliqué techniques, and working with stabilizers.

After a successful conference and co-location with THE NBM SHOW in Cleveland last month, NNEP president Jennifer Cox is excited to bring that same experience to Indianapolis. “I hope that the attendees begin using the information from the Conference immediately in their businesses to improve their profits, their workflow, their digitizing, and the overall quality of the embroidery that they produce. I hope they will say, ‘Yes, we can do that!’ to more customers that want appliqué or want to decorate hard to hoop products or locations on products. If they can say yes with confidence to jobs that others would not, they will stand above their competition as the best apparel decoration solution in their communities. I would say, ‘Mission accomplished by the Conference!,’ at that point,” she explains.
