Alex Rodriguez to keynote Dscoop Edge Indy

Dscoop, the global, user-driven community of HP Indigo, HP PageWide and HP Large Format users, has confirmed that sports, media and business legend Alex Rodriguez will be the main keynote at Dscoop Edge Indy.

‘A-Rod’, a 14-time MLB All-Star, 3-time American League MVP and 2009 World Series champion with the New York Yankees, has continually challenged himself to become more than just a great athlete.

He’s now chairman and CEO of a world-class investment firm, co-owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, and an Emmy-award-winning TV baseball analyst.

The sports, media and business legend will take the stage for a special conversation during Dscoop’s flagship annual conference, set for March 24-27 in Indianapolis. He’ll share what he’s learned about building championship teams, what he’s gained from mentors Warren Buffett and Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson (last year’s Edge keynote speaker), and more.

Dscoop is the largest digital print community in the world, with over 16,000 members in more than 90 countries.

In a city known for the adrenaline-pumping sport of auto racing, Edge Indy promises to capture that energy and theme, with customized learning and networking opportunities for different members of a company’s print crew.

Indy’s four education tracks speak to the needs of those different roles, such as business owners, sales and marketing teams, IT managers, production managers, press operators and developers.

‘The Dscoop global community keeps growing, and it's a testament to the amazing partnerships and idea-sharing of our members across the world,’ said Peter van Teeseling, Dscoop's executive director. ‘Dscoop is a true community in every sense of the word, and it’s always incredible to watch and feel what happens when print mavericks come together at this event.’

The Solutions Showcase at Edge Indy will feature live equipment, press and software demonstrations and business-building insight from HP and other Dscoop partners.

The event will be home to HP’s worldwide drupa portfolio reveal, with the latest innovations for labels, commercial print and flexible packaging.

‘Dscoop is the most powerful and connected print community in our industry, and I’m thrilled that HP will reveal our drupa portfolio at the Edge Indy event,’ commented Haim Levit, senior vice president and division president at HP Industrial Print. ‘We always welcome the chance to hear from our customers globally. As the digital transformation advances, the Edge Indy event serves as a key platform for unveiling our latest innovations leading up to drupa.’
