What is the Central and Eastern European Print Industry Summit?
-
A regional marketing opportunity for NPES member companies
-
A business development meeting for U.S. suppliers and regional industry leaders and entrepreneurs
-
A conference on regional market developments and opportunities
-
A forum to network, explore and build new business relationships
The Summit will be a world-class business conference, an international ‘PRINT OUTLOOK/ EXECUTIVE OUTLOOK’ event, featuring renowned printing-industry speakers from Europe and America; panels of Eastern European, American and multi-national printers, and of U.S. Export-Import, regional and multinational development bankers. The conference sets the stage for participating NPES member company executives to explore new international business development—through networking, matchmaking, deal-making, available product financing, investment assistance, marketing and sponsorships, table top exhibits of institutional supporters and corporate sponsors, and sale leads.
WHY?
It takes a regional print industry Summit to get all the players together needed to figure out how to do new business in the current recession and then to start doing it.
WHY NOW?
The time of slow sales in a global recession is the ideal strategic time to act to explore and develop new business and sales for the future. The World Bank knows that concrete action is needed immediately in Central and Eastern Europe and has established a funding package of up to €24.5 billion to support the region’s banking sectors.
WHERE?
Forecast as the fastest growing regional print market in the world at 51.4%, 2006-2010, Central and Eastern Europe continues positive growth in the midst of the recession, notably the Polish market at 2.9%.
