Following on from its popularity at PacPrint 13, the PacPrint Business Improvement Workshops will be back for PacPrint 2017, covering a series of vital topics for business owners and key personnel.
With thousands already registered to attend PacPrint and the co-located Visual Impact Melbourne expo, thoughts are now turning to making the most of the four-day event – and, according to PacPrint Chair, Adrian Fleming, anyone planning to attend would do well to check out the program of Workshops which will run throughout.
“The PacPrint Business Improvement Workshops were introduced in 2013 and have proven to be a valuable complement to the already popular PacPrint Forum Series,” said Fleming today.
“While the Forum sessions tackle ‘big issues’ and broader topics, the Workshops are designed to offer more practical, hands-on advice and assistance, in areas from new technologies and industry developments, to business practices and strategies, in small-scale, ‘meet the expert’ sessions.”
Like the Forum Series, the workshops will have a strong future-focus, with sessions on smart sensing technologies which will provide the interface to connect advanced information technologies, printed solar panels and other functional print applications, print’s role in a ‘digital first’ world, and 3D print applications.
In more hands-on sessions, visitors can explore how to make vital W2P platforms work to help grow business, and learn now to design for digital, making the most of today’s technologies for print applications, exploring the value and application of spectrodensitometry and how to get the most out of new Corel Draw x7,
David Carter from the Packaging Council of Australia will lead a session on the industry values and best practice for this vital and growing industry sector, while other business-focused sessions will explore marketing strategies for SMEs and provide practical ‘how to’ information on competitive tendering. Rounding out the program, specialists from Printing Industries will take businesses through vital areas like the National Employment Standards and Termination of Employment procedures.
Like the Forums, the Workshops will be totally free of charge for PacPrint 2017 and Visual Impact Melbourne delegates, adding extra value to a show which already promises to be an outstanding opportunity for business with an exciting exhibitor list showing a comprehensive range of products and services, the PacPrint Forum Series and a host of other events.
“These educational opportunities are an integral part of PacPrint and we are excited to have such outstanding speakers and presenters providing the ideas, opinions, information and advice which can be so vital to help businesses increase their competitiveness and profitability, and make confident decisions on their future direction,” Fleming says.
“If you’re planning to be at PacPrint, I’d encourage you to review the Forum and Workshop programs so that you don’t miss the sessions which will be of value to your business – and of course, for those who have not yet registered for the show, it’s just another great reason to plan to be in Melbourne later this month.”
