A raft of speakers has already been confirmed to address delegates, including communications expert Sean Brickell, Infotrends' Barney Cox and key figures from companies such as Ricoh and Xerox.

A round table discussion led by a panel of printers will address issues such as the increasing market for wide-format printing, the pitfalls and benefits of contract work and the potential for cross-media campaigns. A central theme for debate will be the use of social media tools in the industry.

The annual event will take place on 21 and 22 September in Elstree, Hertfordshire.

BAPC chairman Sidney Bobb invited print industry professionals considering attending the event to contact the organisation with particular ideas or issues they would like to be addressed during the panel sessions.

"The BAPC has an enviable reputation for organising stunning and rewarding conferences that inform, educate, motivate and entertain. This year will certainly be no exception and I urge everyone to ensure that the date is firmly set in their diaries," he added.
