The PRINTING United Digital Experience Provides Guided Tour of State-of-the-Art Programming

In-plant Forum

The In-plant Forum on Nov. 2 will be packed with relevant sessions for in-plants. It will kick off with a keynote by Consultant Howie Fenton, who will discuss how in-plants can shift from just surviving during the pandemic to thriving. Then, a panel of in-plant managers from the University of Illinois and Iowa State University will show examples of innovative wide-format applications they are producing in-house and talk with IPI Editor Bob Neubauer about how they were produced and installed. Another panel discussion will bring together in-plants that use production inkjet presses to talk about their transition to inkjet and some of the considerations they faced.

To help in-plants plan their future growth, Consultant Greg Cholmondeley will give a presentation on how to create a five-year strategic plan. And a presentation on workflow will highlight how one in-plant has prospered by automating its processes.

The PRINTING United Digital Experience, taking place Oct. 26 – Nov. 12, offers attendees three weeks of live, guided programming, educational sessions and panel discussions with the experts; along with access to a complete online exhibitor showcase featuring information about the newest industry technology, case studies, whitepapers, the chance to speak with exhibitor representatives, and more. Coming soon, registration is free and will provide complete access to each day of the event with a single sign-up. Save the date on your calendar now at printingunited.com.
