NAPCO Media, the PRINTING United Alliance, and Wide-Format Impressions have announced that HP will be a keynote sponsor of the 2021 Wide-Format Summit, scheduled to take place at the Hyatt Lost Pines in Austin, Texas, on July 28-30, 2021. It will follow the popular Inkjet Summit, which will happen at the same venue from July 26-28.
The Wide-Format Summit is designed to give senior managers and print executives strategic-level insights into what they must do to grow, improve, and optimize their wide-format businesses. The event will feature keynote presentations from thought leaders in the industry, panel discussions featuring businesses that have successfully adopted cutting-edge technology, interactive case studies highlighting innovative applications and implementations in the field, and in-depth 1:1 meetings with attendees, technology solution providers, and advisory board members.
The organizers will work in conjunction with the event venue to take all health and safety requirements deemed necessary. Originally, the Wide-Format Summit was to be held simultaneously with the Inkjet Summit, NAPCO’s hosted-attendee event for the production inkjet space, but the two events will now be held sequentially over the course of the week to facilitate social distancing and other precautions.
“HP is proud to be a Keynote Sponsor of the inaugural Wide-Format Summit,” said Tom Wittenberg, HP Large Format Industry Relations and Events Manager, NA. “We’ve been a longtime sponsor of the Inkjet Summit and the Digital Packaging Summit, so we’re very familiar with NAPCO’s format and the impressive attendees, including CEOs and business owners, who take a keen interest in their technology decisions. These executives will benefit not only from insights on key issues facing the wide-format community in the extensive educational program, but the ability to conduct in-depth, on the spot, investment research that might otherwise take months. Plus, the timing for these leaders to focus on future growth is excellent as we emerge from COVID-19.”
As a top-level keynote sponsor, HP will participate in the opening night presentation, “Four Topics the Wide-Format Industry Cannot Ignore.” The full agenda and additional information can be found at wideformatsummit.com.
The unique, invitation-only format of the event will bring together a select group of executive peers and help them understand how current and future wide-format inkjet printing technology, software, and solutions will impact their businesses and investment plans. Sponsors will have ample opportunities to network with these highly qualified decision makers, including at social events and meals, private case study presentations, and prescheduled 1:1 meetings – all taking place in the plush resort setting of the Hyatt Lost Pines.
