Prokom, the Konica Minolta production print user community, has unveiled further expansion plans as its members prepare for the third global Prokom conference in Valencia, Spain on June 5-6, 2019.
More than 200 delegates from across the world will be convening at the Hotel Las Arenas Balneario Resort in Valencia to network and learn from each other, as Konica Minolta continues to accelerate its growth path within the industrial and commercial print markets.
Latest trends that are shaping the global print industry, blueprints for the future, business diversification, growth and transformation, growth drivers and interactive Q and A sessions will all be featured at Prokom Valencia 2019. The keynote speaker, industry consultant Peter Muir of FranklinCovey, will address “The importance of facts and learning in a changing world”. The conference will be rounded off with an evening celebration dinner and the Prokom Innovation Awards ceremony.
This year’s conference is booked to capacity, but Konica Minolta production users worldwide are invited to “attend by proxy” with videos, articles, conference highlights and key learning that will be posted to the global Prokom website as the conference proceeds.Last month, Prokom hosted a kick-off event and dinner for more than 500 delegates in China, launched at Gulf Print in Dubai, and is soon launching in Australia.
Membership of Prokom is open to any Konica Minolta user of production printing equipment and now includes over 1,300 member companies worldwide. New Konica Minolta production solution users can learn more at www.prokom.org, featuring e-learning courses, self-help videos and tools, forums, expert content, market research as well as webinars, newsletters and local events.
