With just a week to go until the Visual Impact Sydney opens next Thursday at Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, those who want to make the most of their time at the industry’s leading event for sign, display, engraving and wide-format print professionals would do well to preregister without delay.
Visual Impact Sydney will showcase everything from design and MIS systems, to digital printing, cutting and routing, POP, retail display and exhibition systems, structural signage and lighting technologies.
Peter Harper, General Manager – Trade Shows & Publications for exhibition organisers Visual Connections, says the sold out show will feature 100 exhibitors including AVS, Avery Dennison, Currie Group, Canon, Epson, Graphic Art Mart, HP, Jetmark, Kiwo, Biesse, Mimaki, Multicam, Pozitive and Roland DG, among others.
This will be complemented by a comprehensive seminar program featuring local and international experts speaking on a diverse range of topics. Among the keynote presentations will be Diane Costa from Marketing Mechanics, discussing all forms of social media; Andrew Le Marchant from the Australian Institute of Credit Management who will take delegates through tactics to help improve cash flow and how to tackle overdue accounts with customers and Victoria Fratin from Two Sides Australia who will bring some fascinating statistics and little-know facts to her presentation on Print in a Digital World.
An industry first – and a must for anyone interested in the hot topic of 3D print – will be a presentation by Paul Taylor from Photo Electronic Services, who will explore the opportunities 3D opens up available for businesses in the sign, display and print sector.
Industry specialists will also present some of the industry’s latest technology and systems, including BJ Ball’s iconsignment system for digital print consumables and the very latest from Rowmark, EFI and others. This will be complemented by on-stand demonstrations and the ever-popular vehicle wrap and media workshops run by Graphic Art Mart and Avery Dennison.
This year, the show will also co-locate with the POPAI and the Marketing @ Retail Expo, Awards and Summit featuring more than 130 real-life, in-marketing activations.
“Visual Impact has a track record for providing business owners and decision makers with a range of ideas, solutions and technologies to help them build their business success and stay ahead in what is an increasingly diverse and competitive market,” Harper says, adding that pre-registration allows visitors to skip the queues and make the most of their time at the show.
Visual Impact Expo will be held in Halls 5 & 6 of the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park, from next Thursday 15 – Saturday 17 September. Register online free of charge or find out more on the Visual Connections website.
