Connect09 is aimed at print providers who are seeking new and innovative ways to build their businesses through value added services.

Previously scheduled to be held on October 19-20 at Sydney’s five-star Sofitel Wentworth, Connect09 has been restructured as a master class to be held on Monday, October 19.

“With October traditionally a busy time of the year, attendees have indicated that a more condensed programme featuring the key speakers, would provide the best value,” explains Eliot Harper, director at Eliot & Company and organiser of Connect09. 

“We decided to scale the forum to a master class format where two of the world’s leading industry experts, Barb Pellow of InfoTrends (USA) and Andy Tribute of Attributes Associates (UK), will review the trends and developments that will shape the future of the printing industry.”

The format of the master class will include sessions focusing on key market and business opportunities, online enablement, emerging digital applications and a review of key announcements from PRINT 09.

“We believe the master class format will suit the delegates better, and a round table will encourage debate and enable the audience to interact on a more personal level with Barb and Andy,” continues Harper.

In addition to the forum programme, both Pellow and Tribute will deliver briefing sessions to industry vendors. Briefings will include updates on the worldwide printing market, emerging global trends and technologies, key product announcements for 2010 and open discussions.

The cost of the master class  is $495 per delegate. To view the programme and to register, visit www.connectaustralia.com.au.
