The BAPC conference, titled ‘The best is yet to come!’, will take place at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Borehamwood, Herts on the 17-18 January next year.

According to BAPC chairman Sidney Bobb, the full speaker programme is in the process of being finalised.

"As ever we’ll have a great line-up, featuring, as well as Dennis, a motivational speaker and leading figures from the print industry, as well as some entertainers for the evening."

The conference will also include the BAPC Awards dinner, at which the body’s Business of the Year, Environmental Printer of the Year and Product & Supplier of the Year will be revealed.

Keynote speaker Turner previously advised HSBC on economic trends within industry sectors and at a national and international level and had regular contact with policy-making bodies.

He began his career at the National Economic Development Office in Whitehall, where his remit was to assess the constraints impeding economic performance.

"Dennis is a brilliant speaker, extremely entertaining, but also incredibly knowledgeable and well informed," said Bobb.

"We have attained a reputation for providing effective and thought-provoking speakers at our conferences and Dennis will certainly be no exception. His presentation will undoubtedly be relevant to our audience and should not be missed. He is one person who can comment on whether ‘The best is yet to come!’."

According to Bobb, further details on additional conference speakers and pricing will be available soon, in the meantime people can email sidney.bobb@bapc.co.uk to receive more information.
