Digital Packaging Summit To Be Led By Market Leading Advisory Board, Chaired By LPC, Inc.

The third annual Digital Packaging Summit will take place Oct. 23-25, 2017 at the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. The Summit is a hosted, invitation-only, conference designed for senior managers and executives in label and package printing and converting who want to understand how current and future digital printing technology and software will impact their business and investment decisions. This summit offers strategic level insights into what printing industry leaders must do to grow, improve, and optimize their businesses.

The Digital Packaging Summit focuses on how widespread changes taking place today are redefining the future of label and package printing. Attendees will meet and learn from leading labels and packaging experts through a conference program led by Jennifer Dochstader and David Walsh of LPC, Inc., and a team of key advisory board members and speakers. Advisory Board members include:

• Jennifer Dochstader, Owner, LPC, Inc. (Conference Co-Chair)
• David Walsh, Owner, LPC, Inc. (Conference Co-Chair)
• Kevin Karstedt, CEO, Karstedt Partners, LLC
• Marco Boer, Vice President, IT Strategies
• Bob Leahey, Director, InfoTrends
• David Luttenberger, CPP, Global Packaging Director, Mintel Group Ltd.
• Brian Ludwick VP, Publisher/Brand Director packagePRINTING

“Digital printing is one of the most dynamic forces expanding throughout the printed packaging supply chain. While digitally-printed throughput volumes vary depending upon the specific packaging sector, technology adoption is an increasing reality as converters seek ways to economically produce small run sizes, achieve highest job-to-job repeatability standards and offer fastest turnaround times to their customers. LPC is honored to chair this year's Digital Packaging Summit, and we are committed to ensuring the event's attendees and supplier partners have access to highest quality content, the most up-to-date market intelligence, and key benchmarking metrics they can use for their own strategic planning purposes," said Conference Co-Chair, Jennifer Dochstader, Managing Director, LPC, Inc.

The unique, invitation-only hosted format provides a personalized and valuable experience for attendees to acquire knowledge from the "who's who" in the label and package space through keynote sessions, end-user panels, case studies, segment-focused breakout sessions, and numerous networking activities and receptions.

While printers and converters are seeking information and guidance, suppliers are looking for ways to identify and develop relationships with decision makers who are serious about digital. The summit provides sponsors with private case study presentations and pre-scheduled 1:1 meetings with packaging executives who are intimately involved with strategy and purchasing across the label, folding carton, and corrugated segments.

“Our goal continues to be bringing together leading suppliers and attendees in an intimate learning and networking environment facilitated by experts. Attendees learn from industry experts, premier suppliers and, most importantly, their peers about how to adopt new solutions and be successful,” said David Pesko, Event Director from nGage Events. “The Digital Packaging Summit format accomplishes this and has proven to be a win-win for both attendees and sponsors.”
