PVCA POWER OF PRINT ON BUSINESS ISSUES

This year’s PVCA Power of Print Summit will focus on business issues, with topics to be covered including insurance, migration law, and energy costs.

Leveraging on the success of the 2020 and 2021 Rebuild Together and Power of Print webinar series, the PoP Summit speaker lineup will provide insights and tips to reduce the cost of business and improve success.

PVCA will host its 2023 Power of Print Summit on 20 October, with both an in-person event in Melbourne, and a live-stream for those who can’t get there on the day. It is a free event. Click here to register.

Kellie Northwood, CEO, PVCA, said, “As we have worked through the merge and communicated to our members over the past twelve months, we want to retain the successful programmes of both organisations, as well as fine-tune the programmes for the benefit of our members. We’re all about bringing knowledge to members to improve their business success – whether that be across insurance, migration law, energy costs or whatever else.

“I have said to members, we want programmes that allow you to be the most successful in the industry. That is how the association can serve our industry, and the PoP Summit is a start in this approach.”

Secured speakers include Visa Solutions Australia, helping print businesses navigate the roadmap to importing skilled labour, covering best practice, things to look out for and how to expedite with ease an otherwise complex process.

Barrack Broking will explore what insurance is needed for member businesses and how to manage business insurance premiums the smart way in 2024.

Ball & Doggett will facilitate a session across visual media, with industry experts guiding industry on what they need to understand with incoming legislation, and design.

Ricoh Australia, which has a formal partnership with the PVCA to support industry initiatives such as these, is the Platinum Partner of the PoP Summit, and is driving the importance of assisting businesses to improved success and operational cost excellence. “Ricoh believes our business is only as strong as the industry, and partnership with the industry association and members is critical to ensuring our role in building programmes that deliver real benefit and outcomes for industry members who are in turn our customers. Now in our second year of partnership with the PVCA, we are very proud to be deepening these sorts of programmes to add value,” commented Tina Economou, general manager (Sales & Marketing), Ricoh Australia.

Other sponsors include Australia Post, Ball & Doggett, and Media Super. More speakers will be announced in the coming weeks. Kellie Northwood is confirmed as emcee, with the opening discussion outlining the new brand update and the confirmed campaigns and activities for members being released.

She said, “The last Power of Print webinar series achieved 64,000 engagement points for the entire series, and with the strong positive feedback received, we are pleased to retain and evolve the annual series into an event. The Power of Print moving to PoP adds prominence to the focus of ‘Share the Knowledge’ and will be open to all of industry to be part of a community that shares for success,” said Northwood.
