A recent press release from WAN-IFRA said, “As an industry, we need to urgently meet to discuss the COVID-19 crisis and its devastating impact on our businesses. But it would have been inconceivable to hold this exchange safely in June at the scheduled World News Media Congress.
“As our primary concern and responsibility is the health and safety of our delegates, speakers and partners, we have opted to postpone the event to the new dates of 17 to 19 September 2020, in Zaragoza. In the meantime, we will be hosting virtual meetings online to ensure the industry’s concerns are heard and where possible, acted on. Solidarity in action is more important than ever in these times of turmoil.
“The Zaragoza event will retain these programme elements; World Digital Revenue Forum, World Editors Forum, Women in News Summit. I hope you will join our virtual meetups and make it to Zaragoza where we will set a new baseline for the future of the industry.”
In 2024, we are looking at full recovery and growth-led investment in Indian printing
Indian Printer and Publisher founded in 1979 is the oldest B2B trade publication in the multi-platform and multi-channel IPPGroup. It created the category of privately owned B2B print magazines in the country. And by its diversification in packaging, (Packaging South Asia), food processing and packaging (IndiFoodBev) and health and medical supply chain and packaging (HealthTekPak), and its community activities in training, research, and conferences (Ipp Services, Training and Research) the organization continues to create platforms that demonstrate the need for quality information, data, technology insights and events.
India is a large and tough terrain and while its book publishing and commercial printing industry have recovered and are increasingly embracing digital print, the Indian newspaper industry continues to recover its credibility and circulation. The signage industry is also recovering and new technologies and audiences such as digital 3D additive printing, digital textiles, and industrial printing are coming onto our pages. Diversification is a fact of life for our readers and like them, we will also have to adapt with agility to keep up with their business and technical information needs.
India is one of the fastest growing economies in nominal and real terms – in a region poised for the highest change in year to year expenditure in printing equipment and consumables. Our 2024 media kit is ready, and it is the right time to take stock – to emphasize your visibility and relevance to your customers and turn potential markets into conversations.
