Knowledge is power
According to Ipex organisers its new Knowledge Centre has had a warm response for international not-for-profit organisations.

Leading trade bodies already confirmed on the floor plan include: the Asian Flexographic Technical Association; the Forest Stewardship Counsel (FSC); the Ghent Workgroup; the Independent Print Industries Associations (IPIA); the International Print Purchasing Standards Association (iPPSA); the London College of Communication; the National Association of Paper Merchants (NAPM); the Printers Charitable Corporation; PrintIT!; Printing Industries Association of Australia; the Printing Industry Pension Scheme (PIPS); Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC); National Association of Paper Merchants (NAPM); the Welsh Centre of Printing & Coating.
Andrew Bartlett, Chairman of the iPPSA said, “The Ipex 2010 Knowledge Centre is a great new idea and will be the ideal route for us to reach a wider international audience. People, information and knowledge are companies’ most valuable assets and the key to their future prosperity. The Knowledge Centre provides the perfect platform to learn about better practices and new ways to do business. Everyone is looking to boost their business and this area should stimulate minds and positive change.”
Also attached to the Knowledge Centre is a seminar theatre where participating organisations can book presentation slots via a centralised booking system. These sessions last 30 minutes and are free-of-charge for visitors to attend.
