The three ‘power of print’ focus sessions at the World Publishing Expo (IfraExpo, October 29-31) will present case studies on innovations in printing, selling print capacity and on retrofitting and upgrading presses.
“Newspaper printing technologies have developed fast in the past decade and offer more business opportunities and innovations than ever before – a good thing, since 2.5 billion people read newspapers on a regular basis,” says Larry Kilman, WAN-Ifra’s deputy chief executive and director of communications and public affairs.
The series of short conferences at the WPE in Frankfurt will help participants maximise the value of their printing operations. More than 250 exhibitors from 30 countries, and about 8000 visitors are expected.
