Four days full of business and networking, but also of discussion on market prospects and new trends. Print4All 2022 confirms its vocation as a “house of content”, presenting the rich schedule of training and refresher courses created and organised by Business International, Fiera Milano business unit.

The alternation between Intensive Seminars and The Future Of, successfully tested in the last edition, is back.

The Intensive Seminars will feature seven themes, which will alternate between streamlined half-hour sessions and one-hour seminars, with proposals covering all printing markets:

·        COMMUNICATION: we will look at the added value of ennobling and finishing. There will also be an open discussion on the theme of reading, seen as an educational support that enables a critical conscience and an antidote to fake news. Finally, there will be space for packaging, seen as a powerful communication tool.

·        SUSTAINABILITY: from the requirements of circular management of raw materials to the most sustainable industrial choices. Print4All will present an analysis of the supply chain produced by the Paper and Graphics Federation, with the aim of company certification based on GRI international standards. The spotlight will then be on the circular economy, its meaning, impacts and critical factors in the implementation of environmentally neutral systems.

·        MATERIALS: the versatility, impacts and printability of various materials will be explored, from the newer ones, which are leading the sector into the future, to “classic” materials such as paper, with its cultural and environmental significance.

·        PRODUCTIVITY: focus on finishing, including innovative solutions, integrated processes, digital and hybrid technologies, which become a guarantee for the development of production efficiency. But productivity also means providing services: in fact, companies and markets are increasingly demanding an offer model that links products and after-sales services.

·        PROCESS DIGITIZATION: Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality are the two new dimensions that enable printers to become Smart Printers. However, taking a smart approach to their business segment requires, also for printers and converters, fast decisions and continuous interactions with customers. The way AI and AR technologies support this transformation will be explored. On the topic of digitalisation, three years after its first release, the Paper and Graphics Federation will present the update of its Industry 4.0 survey at Print4All.

·        PRINTING CONVERGENCE: The convergence of print markets is reflected in the need to offer new solutions to customers, driving print service providers to expand their portfolios, including through technology or business acquisitions.

·        BIG DATA: space for the Data Economy, which is all about security and the ethical use of data. From the use of data for process optimisation analyses (Big Data and Production Efficiency) to marketing strategies that make use of data.

The Future Of will take stock of future trends and market evolutions that will change the world of doing business. Through the involvement of international keynote speakers, the three scheduled appointments will make it possible to share and exchange ideas and best practices, access sources of information and updates, facilitate new contacts and inspire new ideas:

·        THE FUTURE OF... INNOVATION: a look at the disruptive innovations that will change the way we do business (AI, Metaverse, Innovation)

·        THE FUTURE OF... WORK: Change Management and Change Agility, to learn how to deal with continuous change

·        THE FUTURE OF... DATA: Big Data for Decision Making, because data is at the heart of decision making today.
