Now in its third year, the conference has become a key event in the print and signage industry calendar, dedicated to thought leadership and networking opportunities.

Keynote speaker and futurist Gus Balbontin’s dynamic presentation focused on encouraging innovation and driving change. Many panellists later referred to his simple examples, setting the tone for a day brimming with inspiration and strategic insights.

Delegates enjoyed and participated in panel discussions on various topics facilitated by industry experts. Those discussions included succession planning, adapting selling strategies to changed buyer behaviour, and the increasing importance of climate reporting.

Dr Toby Ford concluded the day by sharing practical and actionable strategies for managing stress and achieving work-life integration.

I am sure everyone who attended took away something to improve their business and personal life - I certainly did."
