printing industries to co-ordinate PacPrint 09 forumsThe Printing Industries Association of Australia (Printing Industries) has been appointed to co-ordinate the PacPrint 09 Forum series, which will run alongside the exhibition in Melbourne from 26-30 May 2009.
The co-ordination of the PacPrint Forums will be done from the Melbourne office of Printing Industries, says Ron Patterson, General Manager of Printing Industries in Victoria.
“As one of the hosts of PacPrint 09, we are delighted to be able to co-ordinate these forums as part of our overall commitment to the exhibition and the industry,” he says.
“Printing Industries has long supported an educational component to complement exhibitions such as PacPrint, which is a ‘once in four year’ opportunity for graphic arts personnel not only to see new products and services first-hand, but to learn as much as possible about what is happening in the industry. The Forums are designed to assist in this process.”

Topics for the PacPrint 09 Forum series have not yet been finalised, but general directions are already becoming clear, Patterson says.
“Feedback from the industry at this stage suggests that people are interested in exploring new directions and possibilities for new and growing business areas, identifying any potential impacts on business of new technology and changing market conditions, and just generally in equipping themselves to be as profitable and competitive as possible over the short to medium term.”
“Issues such as the environment, future industry directions and leadership, therefore, have already been identified as possible subjects of interest.”
More information about the Forums is expected to be released within a fortnight through the media and on the PacPrint 09 website,
www.pacprint.com.au
In the meantime, however, Patterson says his office would welcome input from the industry as to what topics would be most valuable. Suggestions on possible topics should be sent directly to Printing Industries on email ron@printnet.com.au with the subject “PacPrint 09 fourms.
