Up to 170 of the region’s top digital printers have come to Melbourne to meet, talk and network before getting a view of the company’s latest inkjet engine shown for the first time.
With a theme of Focusing on 'what matters most', the delegates from all over the Asia Pacific region gathered at the Crown Convention Centre to be welcomed to Australia by Nick Kugenthiran, managing director of Fuji Xerox Australia, and Shuji Aso, corporate vice president from Japan.
Presentations by motivational and technical speakers, included a briefing from Elliot Harper, chief technology officer, Digital Logic, who set the tone of the show with an explanation of the world beyond cross media.
Round table conferences and Q&A sessions with advertising agency print buyers filled the first day of the three-day conference. Delegates partied into the night at Melbourne’s Showtime venue on the banks of the Yarra.
The numbers of Premier Partners are set to give a boost to the opening day attendance at PacPrint with an expected traffic jam at the Fuji Xerox stand in the afternoon. A technology showcase of the new inkjet machine will be centre stage as well as the first showing of the super-fast Docu-Wide machine.
This is the first time the Fuji Xerox Premier Partners conference has been held in Melbourne. According to delegates the ability to access the latest information as well as the networking opportunities and sharing views on how printers are faring in the many different countries throughout the region makes the conference a worthwhile kick off to PacPrint.
