The first day of the upcoming FuturePrint Virtual Summit (12-16 October) will be dedicated to ‘Young Guns in Print’, celebrating print’s young leaders, highlighting entrepreneurs and innovation, and exploring how to attract, retain, and empower young talent in print.
The move reflects the fact that during the inaugural FuturePrint event in June, more than 55% of attendees were aged 18-35.
Marcus Timson of FM Future said: “We were very happy to see that young people made up a significant proportion of attendees during the first summit. The line-up of young talent is fantastic, and as well as being useful to young people, the Young Guns in Print content programme is sure to be incredibly beneficial to seasoned print professionals too.
Young Guns in Print will have speakers from Landa, Bluetree Group, Cambridge University, Xaar, Solimar Systems, Epson Europe, Avery Dennison, Print.com and more. The day will feature presentations and interviews featuring under 35s in a broad range of roles, sectors and locations, as well as in-depth panels exploring the opportunities and challenges facing young people in today’s industry.
