Printech Show Postponed (an
announcement by XPO Exhibitions Ltd)
XPO Exhibitions (XPO) is
now the proud owner of the Printech event, along
with other leading New Zealand trade shows such as EMEX,
Foodtech Packtech,
Build NZ DesignEX and Gift & Housewares shows.
After
extensive market research & industry consultation with key suppliers to
the printing industry as to 'what it is that they really want', it has
become evident that XPO simply needs more time to
deliver on the 'new promise'. Several large key suppliers have
committed their support to a 2012 event in writing. Therefore, XPO has postponed Printech
until 2012 (month to be confirmed).
The new
focus for Printech 2012 will be different to all
previous shows. Our aim is to sell the benefits of print to print buyers
and marketers - from SMEs through to corporate
and institutional organisations. Printech
2012 will be more than a selling environment to display new technologies and
solutions.
This new
approach we believe has significant long term spin-offs for the industry in
terms of digital print volumes, equipment sales, better communication
services and industry stability. It will help dispel the many
misconceptions around the value of printed communications, giving print
buyers a clear marketing roadmap that works. The untapped potential
for this broadened target market is, quite simply, massive.
Refinement & development of the show continues, and more
information will be available on our website soon. www.printech.co.nz We
look forward to working with PrintNZ and its members in bringing you this
valuable new event.
