Northprint is being relaunched as North Print and Pack 2013, and will take place 14 – 16 May 2013 in Harrogate. Organiser Informa Exhibitions said the event is not only launched with a new name, but promises to deliver more content, products and advice than ever before to help printers develop their business into new areas.
“There are two key drivers behind our reasons for expanding the event reach and revitalising the name: in 2011, an increasing number of exhibitors were showing print on packaging applications, while a significant percentage of our visitors were looking to invest in these solutions,” said Mary Buck, sales manager of North Print & Pack 2013.
Key features will include The Knowledge Centre, an application showcase to encompass wide-format, packaging and cross media, Exhibitor/Visitor ‘speed dating’ and The Hosted Buyer Programme for buyers to meet with exhibitors at the show.
Visitors to North Print & Pack 2013 will see a big focus on educational content. The Knowledge Centre will run four dedicated conference streams, each of them offering education, practical support and training: The Printers Profit Zone, Printers Future Blueprint, Thinking Outside the Box – Pack & POS and Marketing at Internet Speed.
The Printers Profit Zone, hosted by The Print Coach, Nick Devine, will provide a series of business growth seminars, offering practical advice on how to win new business and maximise profitability. It will also tackle critical sales, profit and market issues that are faced by print businesses today.
The Printers Future Blueprint, Thinking Outside the Box – Pack & POS, and Marketing at Internet Speed conference streams will be moderated by Printfuture. Each stream will see dedicated conference sessions that will focus on current industry issues and trends, providing delegates with the opportunity to gain valuable insight into this fast evolving industry.
Adding to the attraction of the event, the finalists of PrintIt! will gather at the show for the Eighth Annual Awards Ceremony.
