The Ipex 2014 visitor focussed steering group will meet for the first time on 9 October to discuss show features and content programme, and advise the organisers accordingly to ensure the event effectively caters to industry needs.
“The Ipex 360 Committee will provide Informa Exhibitions with the necessary input from a visitor perspective to ensure Ipex 2014 serves the need of printers and marketers,” said Lane-Ley. “It is the ideal opportunity for us to engage with industry peers, hear from international thought leaders, and view and compare the latest technologies available.”
“I look forward to chairing the first Ipex 360 Committee meeting with my industry peers, and to working with them to help Informa meet their objectives for Ipex 2014,” added Martell. “Ipex 2014 promises to be a world class ‘must attend’ event that will reflect and address the latest trends and issues in the industry.”
