A new Next Generation Committee has been launched by FESPA UK with events set to take place across the country.
These events will feature a keynote speaker presenting live from one location, with the presentation streamed to the other two venues. Each event will include interactive sessions from the host company and ample networking opportunities.
The series will kick off on April 23, with Colin Sinclair McDermott, The Online Print Coach, leading an interactive seminar titled “The Top 10 Growth Mistakes Print Companies Make – and How to Avoid Them.”
This seminar is designed to provide valuable insights and practical advice for both newcomers to the industry and those looking to advance their careers.
Following the keynote presentation, attendees will be invited into the showrooms of the host companies in each region. These sessions will offer hands-on practical experience with the latest innovations and offerings, followed by additional networking opportunities.

“As a new committee member, I can see the immense benefits this series offers to both young people and the businesses they work for. We encourage everyone to join us and get involved.”
Suzi Ward, managing director of FESPA UK said: “The NextGen Committee has made remarkable progress over the past two years, thanks to the dedication of some incredible young professionals.
