Karen Birch, president of NIPPA says the conference will reflect on recent changes within the industry, whilst at the same time focus on the years ahead, and provide innovative and professional solutions for all types and sizes of In-house printing businesses.

Birch says, “The print industry has evolved dramatically over the years. Businesses have needed to adapt to changing technology, business practices and customer expectations in order to prosper in our dynamic industry.”

She continues, “For years we have needed to prove the worth of our services. Many of us have needed to prove our existence due to the current inflation situation which has added to budget cuts and uncertainties.”
