Printing United Alliance shares details of leadership summit

Based on the foundation of the alliance’s previously held and successful Spire events, the 2024 Leadership Summit will address the industry’s most pressing challenges in a peer-to-peer environment where exclusive research-based presentations are offered, based on the alliance’s annual research studies.

The agenda will include sessions based on analysis from business intelligence reports, as well as findings from exclusive studies that identify the top segments for printing in the US market and the convergence/diversification patterns across the industry.

Many of the popular aspects of the summit model will be adopted, including executive boardroom sessions moderated by professional facilitators, one-to-one meetings, and more.

An attendee-only executive briefing will be created and distributed to all participants which will include input from all groups with actionable takeaways and best practices.

Founding advisory board members are: Brian Adam, president of Olympus Group; Eric Blohm, president and chief operating officer of Freedom Graphic Systems; Lane Hickey-Wiggins, president and CEO of Douglass Screen Printers, Inc. dba DPRINT; Brian Hite, principal and co-founder of Image Options; Eric Kahle, chief revenue officer at Visual Marking Systems; Jennifer Pettinger, CEO of Sun Print Solutions and Jonathan Wallace, president of Wallace Graphics.

‘As a printer, broadening your circle of peer relationships is one of the most important aspects of preparing your business to meet the challenges of today,’ said Ford Bowers, CEO of Printing United Alliance. ‘To do so in an environment that structures conversation while also allowing freeform dialog is unique and powerful. The Leadership Summit was built with this in mind. I have no doubt that attendees will appreciate this singular and much needed event.’
