Sports, media and business icon will speak at March 24-27 conference, designed to help forward-thinking printers around the world learn, connect and grow.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Dscoop, the global, user-driven community of HP Indigo, HP PageWide and HP Large Format users, announced that sports, media and business legend Alex Rodriguez will be the main keynote at Dscoop Edge Indy.

“A-Rod,” a 14-time MLB All-Star, 3-time American League MVP and 2009 World Series champion with the New York Yankees, has continually challenged himself to become more than just a great athlete. He’s now chairman and CEO of a world-class investment firm, co-owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, and an Emmy-award-winning TV baseball analyst.

The sports, media and business legend will take the stage for a special conversation during Dscoop’s flagship annual conference, set for March 24-27 in Indianapolis, IN, USA. He’ll share what he’s learned about building championship teams, what he’s gained from mentors Warren Buffett and Earvin “Magic” Johnson (last year’s Edge keynote speaker), and more.

Dscoop is the largest digital print community in the world, with 16,000+ members in 90+ countries.
