On Monday, the Wynn Las Vegas resort will be the gathering place for scores of industry leaders, business owners, and technology users as they come together for the Connect 2023 user conference. This is the first time the event will be hosted by eProductivity Software (ePS) after being presented for 22 years by EFI. ePS was EFI’s packaging and print productivity software business until it was sold a year ago.
“The day is almost here, and we are incredibly excited to see our vision for ePS CONNECT become a reality,” says Gabriel (Gaby) Matsliach, CEO of ePS. “We know that the incredible educational sessions, keynote addresses, and more will deliver a high amount of value for our users, but it’s the connections made, conversations held, and relationships built between ePS customers that truly elevates the benefit of attending CONNECT. We expect this to be even more acute this year with a laser focus on the software portfolio, and the unique opportunities for collaboration and integration.”
Keynote speakers this year will include Ford Bowers, CEO of PRINTING United Alliance; Alison Keane, President and CEO of the Flexible Packaging Association; and Jessica Lobo, Global Goals and Climate Programme Manager, United Nations Global Compact Network.
Under the ‘Empower, Evolve, Excite’ conference theme, the four-day event will offer invaluable technology learning tracks created specifically for key segments within print and packaging. Sessions will demonstrate how customers can enhance their business's profitability, including how to take products to market efficiently, reach a broader audience, and how to apply best practices to business processes and marketing strategies — all increasing reach and revenue.
As excitement builds for the flagship event, additional partners have joined the roster, for a total of 24 companies and organizations attending the event. The final roster includes HP, Ricoh, Agfa Offset, Canon, EFI, ISCorp, Esko, EFI Fiery, Hybrid Software, OneVision, Picsart, Progress, Loyalty Loop, PlanProphet, Print Speak, Van Data, Flexible Packaging Association, Tag and Labels Manufacturers (TLMI), PRINTING United Alliance, UN Global Impact, Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation.
