The speaker programme will run in line with the event’s main ethos of helping visitors access the tools and information they need to remain competitive in the modern print market.

All sessions on the programme will be focused around the key talking points in the UK print market, covering issues such as the development of digital print and the importance of operating a suitable business, as well as the opportunities for growth in the exciting 3D print market.

Sessions will be split between the Business Seminar Theatre, a key feature of the show for the past five years, and a dedicated celebrity area where the three famous faces will also meet with visitors for photographs and a free book signing session.

Visitors will hear from the leading voices in the print and related sectors about how they can improve their business and expand into new and profitable markets”
