Jon Bultemeyer, chair of ESMA, comments: "The sheer diversity of the printing industry makes understanding the implications of market demands and trends a truly complex affair. With this comprehensive conference programme, we aim to touch on as many of the hot industry topics as possible to enable attendees to get a more rounded picture of where the industry is heading and in turn what they should be looking at to support the long term health and wealth of their business."
He continues: "As the first trade fair which is specifically geared towards printing technology in industrial production, InPrint is an excellent platform for such discussions. It presents the latest methods for printing on metal, plastic, foil, textile, glass, ceramics, wood, and other substrates and explores visionary ideas and solutions for specialty printing: screen, inkjet, pad, and 3D printing. Our conference will mirror the interest in these sectors to ensure we provide an unrivalled knowledge bank not to be missed."
