In addressing how AI can help workforce challenges, Chelsey Quick says, "AI isn’t replacing that job, but it can help you train the next person better. They can ask internal AI and it can run them through the steps. AI can serve as a living library for your company and what it can be.” @TLMI #AnnualMeeting

“AI is here," says Chelsey Quick at the @TLMI Annual Meeting. "It’s not coming, and it's not around the corner. It’s present today and 2/3 of people are using it in some way.”

"What I see across a lot of clients and prospects, everyone is trying to grow their business and there’s only so much out there," explains Brian Van de Water of SPL Consulting, LLC.

A dedicated @TLMI panel addresses the biggest trends in the label and package printing industry at the #AnnualMeeting.

"The growth in our industry will be lower, as the market overall is mature," says AWA's Corey Reardon. "Applications like RFID provide growth opportunities faster than the 2% market growth we're seeing. You have to be more strategic in going after those opportunities." @TLMI #AnnualMeeting

"What you take away from the Annual Meeting will help you adapt," says TLMI president and CEO Dale Coates. "If you stay the same you’re going to be left behind because so much is happening rapidly. Events like this are one of the most visible things TLMI does, but it’s only one piece of the TLMI picture. When a company is considering an equipment investment or a sustainability question comes up, that’s where TLMI resources, studies, and member networking become valuable to you."

"The questions facing our industry all have one thing in common: we don’t have to navigate them alone," says @TLMI president and CEO Dale Coates. "That’s the benefit of TLMI. We willing to work together to make the entire industry stronger."

The @TLMI Annual Meeting is underway in Fort Lauderdale, FL! L&NW catches up with Dale Coates and Domino's Bill Myers has the event begins. #labels #labelleaders
