Keypoint Intelligence will present expert insights at the Fespa Global Print Expo and the co-located Corrugated Conference (19–22 May 2026), with principal analysts Mark Boyt and Marc Mascara leading sessions on the technologies reshaping print production.
Mark Boyt, principal analyst for Production Workflow Services at Keypoint Intelligence, will participate in two sessions at the Fespa Conference (Hall 3-B45).
“AI is already changing how print operations run day to day and helping teams get more out of the resources they have,” said Boyt. As a panelist in this session, ‘AI in Print Production Software: Your Most Productive Employee’ (19 May), Mark will explore how AI is enabling prepress automation, smarter workflows, and data-driven decisions to improve productivity without increasing headcount. For print businesses under pressure to do more with less, understanding how to apply AI in practical ways is becoming critical.
In ‘The Reality of Robotics in Print’ (20 May 13:15–14:00), Boyt will moderate a panel of industry experts to examine where robotics is delivering value today and what barriers still limit wider adoption. As labor shortages persist, robotics is emerging as a potential solution, but knowing where it delivers real return is essential before investing.
Marc Mascara, principal analyst for Labels & Packaging at Keypoint Intelligence, will present ‘Digital Print for Corrugated Packaging: How the Market is Adapting to Single-Pass, High-Speed Production’ (19 May, Corrugated Conference, Hall 3-B162).
“Corrugated packaging is entering a new phase where speed, quality, and flexibility are all expected,” said Mascara. “Digital is playing a much bigger role in making that possible.” His session provides a market view of single-pass digital corrugated print, followed by a senior executive roundtable discussion on where the segment is heading. As demand for shorter runs and faster turnaround grows, understanding how digital corrugated production is evolving is key to staying competitive.
These sessions reflect broader industry shifts toward automation, AI, and advanced production technologies as print businesses respond to rising costs, labor constraints, and increasing demand for faster, more flexible production.
