With PPAI Expo 2012 quickly approaching, we’re getting more and more excited to reveal our new group of Industry Voices, but we first want to recognize the 2011 group for all they did this year.

Last January, we introduced the first class of “Voices” who shared with us their predictions for the year, their tips for working smarter, and their forecasts of the next 5  years in the industry.  They are a very smart set of people whose big ideas helped everyone get excited for change and innovation in our industry.

2011 Industry Voices list:

We want to end the year with a big THANK YOU to our 2011 Industry Voices. As the inaugural group, you all went above and beyond our expectations and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

Happy New Year and see you in 2012!
