The Conference on 11 March 2018 will be held at the Novotel Hyderabad Convention Centre and will feature eminent print personalities and brands, both national and international.
 
Narendra Paruchuri, Shailesh Name, Kevin Smith, Bimal Mehta, AVPS Chakravarthi, SN Venkataraman, A Appadurai, Sanjiv Jaggi and Maniraju Bora are among those who will represent the Indian print industry. ThePackHub, Smash Brand, Aurobindo Pharma, Gland Pharma, The Neilsen Company are some of the brands who will also put their point of view across.
 
One of the messages that came across during the last Conference in Mumbai was: Technology users across the world are constantly on the lookout to leverage what’s new in various industries. The first generation of Apple iPhones was launched in 2007 and in a decade has launched ten iPhone models and numerous of updates. It's ditto with print. “The speakers resonated the importance of the next generation technology in print and applications," said Priya Raju of PrintWeek India, in her report.
 
According to NPES, the goal is to bring the industry together, and through expert presentations encourage the participants to seek solutions to packaging challenges ranging from packaging design process to making their business ventures bring more value.
 
The conference has been supported by the All Indian Federation of Master Printers Association (AIFMP); Indian Printing, Packaging and Allied Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (IPAMA) and PRIMIR, the leading market research arm of NPES.
 
The conference takes place in conjunction with PackPlus South 2018 and Print Fair 2018 exhibitions.
