With a move from the Wynn in its traditional January slot to another popular hotel on the Las Vegas strip, The Venetian, from 20-22 August the 2024 event will bring together industry leaders, business owners, and technology users and will host a raft of sponsors and exhibitors.
This year, ePS is providing the experience in an “all-inclusive” package. The new venue and date comes in response to feedback from attendees looking to simplify their experience and have the event fall outside of the busy season of closing books on the previous year.
Gaby Matsliach, CEO of ePS Packaging, and Dan Vertachnik, CEO of Print ePS, jointly commented: “We look forward to an exciting Connect, with a new venue, broader format, and enriching market-leading content and learnings from ePS and other industry-leading providers.
“Our goal is to continue to evolve Connect so that it meets and exceeds user expectations and provides a venue where industry leaders, businesses, and users can all come together to benefit print and packaging.”
The event’s sponsor lineup of industry hardware providers includes HP, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, and EFI, and software and technology providers include ECO3, Esko, and ISCorp. The full lineup will be revealed in the coming weeks.
“The tight integration between HP Indigo digital presses and ePS Pace and ePS Radius are primary examples of HP’s intelligent automation strategy, eliminating touchpoints and increasing production efficiency for our joint customers worldwide,” said Fernando Alperowich, HP GM Industrial Print Americas.
“We look forward to attending Connect 2024 and meeting with customers from the print and packaging industries.”
Andy Grant, head of software at ECO3, added: “Being part of ePS Connect 2024 shows the level of our commitment to the ePS/ECO3 partnership.
“Participation at this unique event that showcases software solutions for the print industry enables real engagement in discussions on how integrating software can deliver added value.
“And that’s just one of the highlights we will showcase: the added value of the ePS – ECO3 integrated workflow.”
In addition to the robust “learning tracks” for print and packaging users, Connect 2024 is offering an exclusive two-and-a-half-day track with chief architect Dennis Kremer, where users will gain advanced hands-on training sessions on ePS enabling technologies designed to help customers streamline their broader ecosystem and boost the value of their current investments.
This training session will cover technologies already embedded in ePS products, such as ePS Productivity Workbench, and newer technologies including ePS Automator.
Connect 2024 will also host a Women’s Networking Lunch, building upon the success of last year’s inaugural event. The aim of the lunch is to bring together women within the industry to share inspiration and ideas on how the industry can continue to attract and retain female talent.
The 2023 event, which attracted more than 650 attendees, marked the success of the company’s first year as a standalone business and laid out its future aims.
