INTERQUEST, a leading market and technology research and consulting firm serving the digital printing and publishing industry, announces its first Digital Printing Forum in Belgium. The event will be held on March 18th from 9:00 to 17:30 at Le Plaza Hotel in Brussels.

Based on the success of its annual digital printing forums organized in New York, Washington, London, and Paris, INTERQUEST is offering a similar event in Belgium. The educational forum will focus on trends and opportunities in two of the highest growth digital printing market segments: direct marketing/relational marketing and publishing.

According to Gilles Biscos, President of INTERQUEST, "Several high-profile Belgian companies attending our Paris forums over the past two years have been very positive about the events and have encouraged us to bring the experience to their country, which we are doing this year."

The morning seminar, "Digital Printing & Multi-Channel Communication," will focus on the synergy between print and electronic communication and the convergence of direct mail and transactional printing. The afternoon seminar, "Digital Printing in Publishing" will examine digital printing opportunities in magazines and newspapers, and provide an update on the developments with digital book printing.

Throughout the day INTERQUEST will present the results of its recent market research in these areas globally, in Europe, and in Belgium. The seminars will also include sessions and panels gathering leading providers, influencers, and print buyers, who will share their experiences/success stories and discuss their challenges and perspectives on digital printing.

The 2014 Brussels Digital Printing Forum is sponsored by leading players in the market, including Antalis, bpost, Canon, Hunkeler, Kodak, Ricoh, Riso, Screen, Symeta, Xeikon and Xerox.
