These educational sessions will feature a keynote speaker, end-users and an industry vendor who will challenge attendees on the latest hot topics including:

- TransPromo: the current state of affairs

This event is open to all attendees at Ipex 2010 on a complimentary basis.

Nick Craig Waller, Ipex 2010 Marketing Director says: “We’re delighted to be working with Xplor at Ipex. Whilst Ipex 2010 remains this year’s international highlight to see innovations coming to commercial fruition, the show also offers an ideal place for visitors to learn how they can get the best out of technological investments.  The Xplor seminars provide just that – printers can gain valuable insight into how these latest technologies are used within the print supply chain, share their experiences with others and more crucially, identify important business opportunities which will help them to stay competitive and maintain a healthy bottom line.”

With less than 100 days to go until the NEC in Birmingham, UK, opens its doors for eight days from 18th May 2010 to visitors from around the world, Ipex 2010 has entered the final countdown stage. Over 650 stand holders are signed up, representing over 1,000 companies across more than 60,000 square meters of floor space.
