PPAI Technology Committee Chairman Jon Norris said earlier this year that the PPAI Technology Summit "was gaining real steam."

The numbers are in, and they prove him right.

Registrations for the Essent-sponsored 2015 PPAI Technology Summit are up more than 50 percent from last year, according to PPB Newslink.

There's a good chance that attendance will even double that of the 2014 PPAI Technology Summit, which was the inaugural event; PPAI announced the surge in registrations on April 16, with four months of registrations remaining.

PPAI continues to take registrations.

The Technology Summit is August 11-12 in Nashville, Tennessee. It aims to make the promotional products industry more efficient through collaborating on technology solutions.

This is the first year that the PPAI Tech Summit is sponsored by Essent, the leading technology solutions provider for the promotional products industry.

The Tech Summit immediately follows the PPAI North American Leadership Conference, which is sponsored by Essent for the second consecutive year.
