A Bigger Picture Than Print

In our resource constrained world, is print a sustainable means of communication? How can it compete with faster, cheaper, more effective digital media? How will information and content be transferred from one human to another in the future? If you buy, generate or supply printed materials these questions will be at the forefront of your mind when planning future business strategies.

Content and how consumers will engage with it, access it and pay for it will affect the future of print. Advertising - how and where consumers will view it and react to it, will influence print markets. Commerce - how and what consumers purchase in the future will impact print. Communication - and the myriad of devices enabling this will shape print's future.

Pira's Executive Retreat "Future Global Print Markets" delivers an outstanding programme examining future drivers for print markets delivered by companies both outside and inside the printing world - those who threaten print, those who drive print and those who thrive on it.

The outcome of this programme will be a reinvented, sustainable business model for print - set in the context of a much, much bigger picture.
