4th Annual ChromaChecker Color Quality Conference Sunday, January 31 – Tuesday, February 2, 2027 Quality Inn, New Port Richey, FL
Why Attend
Three days built around the work you actually do — measuring, matching, and proving color across presses, substrates and suppliers. Every session is hands-on.
Bring your own measurement data and work it through with the people who built the tools. You leave with workflows configured, not notes to write up later.
Sunday late-morning start, a full day Monday, and a hard stop at noon Tuesday. Fly out Tuesday afternoon and lose only one working day — the objection production managers raise most often about midweek events.
ChromaChecker certification and a printer license come with the seat, so the workflows you build during the conference keep running when you get home.
Program
Sunday late-morning start, a full day Monday, and a hard stop at noon Tuesday — fly out Tuesday afternoon and be back at your desk Wednesday morning. Most sessions are plenary; where a row is split, pick one of the two.
