Herbert Walkers will take delivery of its second Speedmaster XL 106 from Heidelberg in June.
The four-day event will feature keynote speakers and a range of sponsors and exhibitors
eProductivity Software’s (ePS) annual user conference, CONNECT, is set to take place from January 23rd to 26th, at Wynn Las Vegas.
In January this year, EFI announced it had sold ePS to an affiliate of Symphony Technology Group with the company operating as an independent, global software company.
ePS is a global provider of industry-specific business and production software for the packaging and print industries. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the global company has over 30 years of experience in servicing these industries.
Kicking off the new year, the four-day event will provide a space for industry leaders, business owners, and technology users to come together to learn about ways to innovate and optimize their operations.
The event will focus on ways to drive profits in good and turbulent markets, address current and future industry trends, and explore how to build sustainable business models.
Keynote speakers have been revealed with Ford Bowers, chief executive officer of PRINTING United Aliance; Alison Keane, president and chief executive officer of the Flexible Packaging Association; and Jessica Lobo, global goals and climate programme manager for the United Nations all included in the line-up.
Bowers will be speaking on Tuesday January 24th and will discuss how the print and packaging industries can meet evolving market and consumer demands. Having attended CONNECT for many years, Bowers says: “I have always looked forward to engaging and networking with friends and experts, from whom I have learned and am still learning a great deal.”
During a time of rapidly evolving packaging policies, Keane’s keynote will guide the audience on the need for innovative technology in order to keep pace. Lobo will discuss the role sustainability has to play in the resilience of print and packaging industries and says the topic is “fast becoming a catalyst for driving growth, ambition, and impact”.
“I’m looking forward to attending the conference to speak about why sustainability matters and explore how businesses can use the Sustainable Development Goals to scale up action, accelerate innovation, and generate transformational change,” Lobo says.
In addition to the keynotes, the event will also feature technology learning tracks and sessions on how customers can enhance profitability as well as how to take products to market efficiently.
Gabriel (Gaby) Matsliach, chief executive officer of ePS, adds: “ePS is coming to the end of our first year as an independent, global software company. We have invested significant efforts into expanding our value, influence, and partnerships within the print and packaging ecosystems, to great benefit of our customers and our industries at large.
“I am excited about how our vision will present itself at CONNECT 2023 with a broad range of sponsors and exhibitors as well as a notable panel of keynote speakers that span the globe and relevant topics to print and packaging.”
