Not only do print providers need to keep up with the print buyer's demands but more importantly the print provider now needs to find new innovative ways of cutting down costs while maintaining a profitable business.

Exell's workshops will address most of the daily issues creators, publishers and print providers face on a daily basis, topics such as “Why Automate?”, “How Do we Automate?”, “Re-Establishing Sales Possibilities within the Digital Age” will be discussed, user participation and real business testimonials will also form part of the workshops.

This is your opportunity to be part of this unique platform and workshops throughout South Africa, giving your company not only the exposure to a large market segment but also the opportunity to establish or re-establish your product or service but more importantly be part of learning about the current and future of print.

“Little Drupa South Africa” will provide print role players with valuable skills and connections.
