Xerox, KBA, Kodak, Ricoh, Gallus and Rollem Join Industry Leading Suppliers at Digital Packaging Summit

The Digital Packaging Summit 2016 will take place from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, 2016 at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. The second annual Digital Packaging Summit is an invitation-only, hosted summit designed for senior managers and business executives who want to understand how current and future digital production printing, finishing technology, software and solutions will impact their business and investment decisions.

Gallus, KBA, Kodak, Ricoh, and Xerox joined a list of industry leading sponsors including Appleton Coated, Fujifilm, Heidelberg, HP, INX International, Mark Andy, Rollem International, RotoMetrics, Rotoflex, Xeikon, and more.

"The Digital Packaging Summit provides a unique opportunity for interactive discussions to explore and develop new opportunities for growth in this industry," said John DiVincenzo, VP and GM, digital packaging business, Xerox. "The array of sessions at the Summit provides a productive means to interact directly with our customers, hear their stories, and share back innovative ideas. We look forward to this year’s Summit, especially as momentum in all areas of packaging in regards to digital technologies continues to grow."

Pre-qualified attendees will meet and learn from the "who's who" of label and packaging analysts and experts, as well as their peers via panels and breakout sessions. They will discuss the successes and challenges encountered when implementing digital solutions.

"The Digital Packaging Summit is truly a one-of-a-kind event to engage customers and vendors in a unique one-on-one setting with the industry’s most knowledgeable visionaries who can provide valuable feedback to any organization that will shape the future of digital packaging," commented Eric Frank, senior VP, marketing and product management, KBA North America. "The event is full of tremendous content combined with everything from peer networking and 1:1 meetings to boardroom style case study presentations and general sessions led by the industry's leading experts."

While users are looking for information and guidance, suppliers are looking for ways to identify and develop relationships with these potential buyers specifically interested in production digital printing solutions. The Digital Packaging Summit is designed to meet both of these needs for attendees and sponsors.

"Aligned interests, decision makers, great location — the Digital Packaging Summit provides a casual but professional atmosphere to discuss capabilities, benefits, and business opportunities,” stated Donald R. Allred, director, WW sales and marketing, packaging, enterprise inkjet systems division, Eastman Kodak Co. "I was so impressed, the Digital Packaging Summit has become one of our key activities for the year."

Co-Chairs Marco Boer, VP of IT Strategies and Kevin Karstedt, CEO of Karstedt Partners, along with a team of key advisory board members and speakers will lead the conference program. The conference program will cater to senior level decision-makers tasked with researching and understanding digital solutions and determining if the business case to invest or expand into digital makes sense for their respective organization.

The Digital Packaging Summit 2016 takes place from Oct. 31 to Nov. 2, 2016 at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
