This year the PacPrint Business Improvement Workshops will be held again covering several topics for business owners and key personnel.
Adrian Fleming, chair at PacPrint says, “The PacPrint Business Improvement Workshops were introduced in 2013 and have proven to be a valuable complement to the already popular PacPrint Forum Series.
“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.”
Similar to 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.
