Seminars, conferences, information events and open houses play an increasingly important role for PrintCity.This is why PrintCity offers seminars and invite representatives from the printing industry and their customers to seminars, conferences and presentations at trade congresses.
PrintCity congresses and seminars are developed from the projects in the Activity Groups. They deal with current issues from the graphic arts industry. Specialists from the member companies and from partner companies report on PrintCity projects on web and sheetfed printing, packaging and publishing. In addition, there are also presentations which focus specifically on problematic issues in the industry, such as increasing productivity in the printing process. Networking events encourage companies from the printing industry to get to know each other and to collaborate in new markets. Visitors to the events enjoy the bundled, industry-wide expertise of the PrintCity members and share in the transfer of knowledge. To date, PrintCity events have been held in central and eastern Europe, Japan, China and Latin America.
