Fremont, CA, <\/em>November 17, 2015 \u2013<\/em> Electronics For Imaging, Inc.<\/a> (Nasdaq:EFII) today announced that famed resort and gaming entrepreneur Steve Wynn, founder, CEO and chairman of Wynn Resorts<\/a> (Nasdaq:WYNN) will give a keynote presentation followed by a Q&A session at EFI\u2122 Connect, the company\u2019s annual users\u2019 conference scheduled for January 19-22, 2016 at Wynn, Las Vegas. The resort magnate\u2019s session will close out the first day at Connect, which is one of the printing industry\u2019s largest and longest-running users\u2019 group events.<\/p>\n

Steve Wynn is a legend in the resort business and the man who created the Golden Nugget \u2014 the first destination resorts in Las Vegas and Atlantic City \u2014 through a 1971 transaction with Howard Hughes. Projects following his Golden Nugget successes included the landmark Mirage, Treasure Island and Bellagio resort-casinos, igniting a construction boom that catapulted Las Vegas into America\u2019s number one tourist destination. Today, his Wynn and Encore resorts in Las Vegas and Macau carry on that tradition as the entrepreneur nears completion on a major expansion in Macau and begins an ambitious new project in Boston.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext year will be the 10th anniversary of EFI hosting Connect at Wynn, Las Vegas, and there are very good reasons we continue to choose this exceptional venue,\u201d said Guy Gecht, EFI\u2019s CEO. \u201cWynn, Las Vegas is emblematic of Steve Wynn\u2019s devotion to excellence and his ability to exceed customer expectations \u2013 two things EFI always strives to offer to our own customers. I am sure Connect attendees will benefit from hearing his story first-hand to learn what this thought leader and legendary entrepreneur has done to drive ongoing success while addressing significant challenges and opportunities in the course of his career.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEFI is passionate about helping small and mid-sized family-owned businesses be successful,\u201d Wynn said, \u201ca mission that I am happy to be part of by hosting EFI Connect for the last 10 years and speaking at Connect 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n
