Join us to participate in the conversation on dynamic print industry as we are leading up to International Print Day 2021(October 21, 2021).

Join us for the 1st joint edition to celebrate International Print Day!


Since its launch five years ago, the lives series has become well known for bringing together the best speakers in the industry for insightful discussions – and the same can be expected of the upcoming September edition.


Taking place on September 27th, 2021, live on the Canon EMEA LinkedIn page. The event will feature an exciting panel of industry experts, including Dina Storey - Director of Sustainability Operations, Expo 2020 Dubai, Dennis Micheni – Chief Executive Officer, Discover Brands3D Printing, Temitope Ekundayo, CEO, Printivo Limited, Nigeria and Zahir Hassan Managing Director, Power Print Dubai.


The speakers will provide a candid insight into the industry’s biggest challenges, from how the pandemic has affected the commercial and corporate print sectors, to predictions about how things will continue to unfold over time.


Other topics that will be explored during the hour include industry insights for the next 12 months – including technology and behavioral trends. And as no discussion about the print industry would be complete without looking at the role of automation in the print sector, the speakers will share their thoughts on the pros and cons of automation, and the roles they believe will never be automated.


Mai Youssef, Corporate Communications and Marketing Services Director, Canon Middle East and Canon Central and North Africa, commented: “With International Print Day just a few weeks away, we at Canon EMEA believe there’s no better way to celebrate the lead up to the day than by partnering with Expo 2020 to dedicate our upcoming episode of Frontiers of Innovation to one of the world's most interesting industries – the print industry.”


She added: “We’ve lined up a great panel of knowledgeable speakers who promise to deliver a lively session filled with honest insights that will benefit anyone interested in this sector.”


The September Frontiers of Innovation session will take place live on the Canon EMEA LinkedIn page, and future episodes of the webinar can be expected every month until April 2022.
