Global Channel Partners Summit/Forum/Tour 2012/13/14/15/16/17

The industry continues to evolve and the GlobalChannelPartners Summit evolves right along with it.  In recent years, the traditional print media channel of manufacturers working directly with distributors and dealers has expanded to include print producers as a critical part of the channel process. The addition of print producers expands the range of issues that are important and of concern to the channel to now include every aspect of print - from manufacturing to the production and the distribution of print products.

 

To support all the stakeholders in this process, The GlobalChannelPartners Summit, provides a place where manufacturers, distributors/dealers, print producers and print consumers can come together to better understand the ever-changing printmedia production/marketing/distribution channel. Through networking, presentations and lively discussions, printmediachannel participants will come to understand how to be successful within their specific role and how together we can shape the global printmedia channel of the future.

 

The worldwide presence of a ‘PrintMedia Channel’ is today a global reality; manufacturers from countries across the globe want to actively sell and market their products to their own and other countries across the printworld. Distributors /dealers are constantly looking for the best products and most versatile services which their clients need to better manage their print businesses. Equally print producers in their turn want to have ready and available access to the print products and services which help them to be more productive and to manage more efficient print operations; during our rapidly changing and constantly challenging printmedia realities. 

 

The conventional print media channel duality of manufacturers and distributors / dealers is today with digital methods of distribution; a tri-ality, which now firmly includes the print producers in both the channel mechanism and the channel process. Whether brought together by technology, melded together by economics or sown together by diverse personal, computer and social networks, the printmedia channel now includes and involves every aspect of the manufacture, distribution and production of print products and services.

 

This year sees the Second GlobalChannelPartners Summit, which was held during Print 2013. Created by GASC/NPES, Dealer Communicator and PrintMediaPartners, the summit is the only place in the ‘PrintWorld’ where manufacturers, distributors/dealers, print producers and print consumers can come together to network, to share their ideas and to learn about the latest trends which will affect their individual ‘segment’ of both their own and the global printmedia channel in the future. Built uniquely upon original research only available at the Summit event, the Summit provides an original insight into real events, people and processes; which when brought together into this the only global forum for the GlobalPrintMediaChannel; will help us to appreciate the past, understand the present as well as to offer us an opportunity to better develop the printmedia channel of the future.

On the show floor, we shall see and hear about the print production solutions which our vendors and their distribution partners (with many old and familiar names leaving after many years and many new names appearing for the first time) are bringing to market. The market in their turn is represented by the print producers (in many different guises and forms) who are visiting to discover what is new and useful to them in their own daily print production scenarios. The GlobalChannelPartners Summit serves the evolving and every changing worldwide printmedia production channel; it is here to provide useful and actionable, relevant information, to support access to new production technologies and distribution efficiencies and to point the way forwards for the whole GlobalPrintMediaChannel.
