PacPrint 09 Forums address the big issues The much anticipated forum series at PacPrint 09 is set to address the big issues, with the forum topics announced today. The FREE series will provide PacPrint visitors with an outstanding opportunity to debate and discuss key issues and challenges facing the industry today, with keynote addresses from world-class experts supported by panels of industry specialists who will help focus the session’s relevance on the industry. The topics will be: Wednesday 27 May  Visions for the Future – a look at the economic and business climate, future directions and opportunities. Thursday 28 May  The Environment – future strategies in response to climate change and the environment Friday 29 May  Future Leadership – the making and motivating of leaders for the future Alastair Hadley, PacPrint 09 Chairman, says the more general topics will allow a broader approach and more scope for attendees to explore their response to these key areas. “The topics announced today are very pertinent in today’s challenging market place and have been identified through recent Printing Industries’ market research as areas of key importance to virtually all facets of the industry,” he says.

“Information received from hundreds of businesses across Australia clearly identified these as the ‘big issues’ confronting businesses across the entire spectrum of the graphic arts here in Australia. “The sessions will follow a similar format to the highly successful series at PrintEx. Each will feature a keynote address by an internationally recognised expert in the field, supported by industry experts as forum panelists who will be able to discuss the specific relevance of the area and issues raised to the graphic arts,” he says. Confirmation of the speakers for the forum series, which is to be moderated by respected broadcaster, journalist, lawyer and businesswoman Elaine Canty, is expected within days, while forum panelists for each session are currently being identified. Further information about the forums and speakers will be released in the media and on the PacPrint website www.pacprint.com.au over the coming days, allowing visitors plenty of time to register or the sessions of their choice.
