Speakers from brands including ProQure, PRINTFUL, Landa Digital Printing, Ipsos, Printess and Canon will also explore topics such as the behavioural science behind personalisation; the power of print in a personalised world; driving impact and customer loyalty through content; and the technology and businesses models making personalisation accessible.

Alongside the individual speaker sessions will be a series of “in conversation with” sessions led by Richard Askam who will be joined by consumer and tech experts, retailers and manufacturers.

Consumer demand for personalised, instant, and augmented experiences has increased over the last years and brands that have embraced personalisation have sharpened their competitive edge and increased their market share. That’s why, with our first-ever Personalisation Experience conference, we want to help delegates grasp the commercial value of personalisation and demonstrate how they can seize the exciting opportunities it presents in the industries they’re active in. We’re delighted to have a really strong line-up of international speakers from different sectors and backgrounds who will share real-life business cases, insights and actionable advice with our visitors.”
