Each speaker will appear on successive days at the event’s Forums, which will be moderated by journalist Elaine Canty (pictured).

Renowned business consultant and academic Norman will appear on Wednesday May 27, with a discussion looking at the economic climate and “how businesses in the graphic arts can chart their future directions and maximise opportunities within this context”.

“World-recognised futurist” Ellyard will appear the following day, with Parkin rounding out the seminars on the Friday, with the former AFL player and coach set to deliver one of his trademark motivational speeches.

Each speaker will be supported by a panel of industry experts.

“We are absolutely delighted to have secured speakers of such a high calibre for the PacPrint 09 Forums,” said PacPrint09 chairman Alastair Hadley.

“The PacPrint 09 Forums will offer visitors the chance to hear these world-class speakers address topics of vital importance, not just to the graphic arts but to all businesses, particularly in these challenging times.”

The PacPrint09 Forums are free to PacPrint visitors, though registration is recommended with limited seating available. Registration for the seminars can be done at www.pacprint.com.au/forums.
