The four-day intensive seminar at the Print Media Academy is first and foremost geared to participants from all over the world, offering them the opportunity to broaden their knowledge of the sector and share experience and strategies for success.

"The pressure to compete and changing market dynamics are continuing to increase. Managers in the print media industry therefore always need to be up to date on current trends in the industry and comprehensive, sustainable methods of strategic management," says Martina Brand, Head of International Business Training at the Print Media Academy. That's why the seminar will be focusing on the different aspects of business management in particular. Further presentations and discussions will spark new ideas within the areas of finance, controlling, leadership and marketing & management. Participants will also have the chance to discuss their own experience with experts and colleagues and get valuable feedback.

The course will be led by Stan Solomidis and Martina Brand. Solomidis is the owner and director of Synthesis Australia Pty Ltd. Stan sits on the board of some very competitive and marketing oriented printing businesses and this experience coupled with his corporate experience makes him well equiped to assist printing managers who are looking to improve their firm's performance. Martina Brand is in charge of International Business Training at the Print Media Academy in Heidelberg.
