Point-of-Purchase Advertising International (POPAI) will run 14 events this year as demand for educational and networking events from wide format printers grows.

The new 2015 events calendar includes a series of professional development breakfasts; one-day courses on how to harness and leverage the retail market to drive growth; and two free webinar series sharing case studies, research and tips.

In September printers can learn from the who’s who of retailers, brands and innovators about how market-leading companies stay ahead of the game in an increasingly competitive market in the shopper summit masterclass series.

The summit is followed by the annual POPAI awards night, entries for which open next month, and networking drinks in July and December.

The point-of-sale marketing association says the crowded calendar will provide the industry with more opportunity to connect, keep up to date with industry trends and best practice, develop their teams, and build their businesses.

Printers can register for the first breakfast event now, a GlobalShop and POPAI Global Awards Wrap Up, in Sydney on April 22 and Melbourne on April 23. They cost $35 for POPAI members and $70 for non-members
