Registration opens for the BPIF 2021 Visual Media Conference (VMC) – Book now!

BPIF are delighted to open registration for their 3 day linear virtual conference, online between 21 – 23 September 2021. Please scroll down to register onto the Hopin platform to access all content.

The Visual Media Conference (VMC), now in its 8th year, brings the digital and print industries together to delve into trends, technology and innovations affecting both industries - this year the theme is Sustainability through Innovation. VMC is organised annually by CDI (Creative Digital Industries), a BPIF (British Printing Industries Federation) Special Interest Group in conjunction with BOSS and Founding Partners: Precision Proco and Creative Race.

VMC will be hosting a hybrid programme of live-streamed and pre-recorded sessions, with exciting content released throughout the 3 days on the Hopin event platform.

The three days will take attendees on a journey, exploring key topics around Sustainability and Innovation, including the arguments for why and how to innovate and stay sustainable, and what this could mean for your business as well as the environment.

Live sessions include an array of exciting speakers, where on Day 1 Frank Romano will open with the evolution of communication in print – a masterclass from the guru in the US bringing us right up to date with his session ‘How did we get here?’, then immediately looking to the future now with a visit to virtual world communication. Day 2 looks at innovation in technology, and Day 3 has a particular focus on the environmental side of sustainability.

The journey through VMC will take you from the origins of communication, through to the current solutions you need for business and environmental sustainability, while continuing to be at the forefront of the creative world by demonstrating technology that is yet to be adopted.

Robert McClements, curator of VMC & President of CDI comments:

“This year we have answered the challenge you, our audience, have posed! Tired of Zoom? Trying to get on with work without missing gems of knowledge? The VMC programme will guide you to pick and choose what you want from live world-class speakers and select pre-recorded sessions. I look forward to sharing the experience with you.”

The conference will bring you a ‘TV Guide’ of content from international keynote speakers providing panel discussions, Q&A’s and webinars. This content will be available at fixed times, but content will also be recorded and shared online to view at leisure.

A huge thank you to all our Sponsors and supporters, without this the event would not happen. Please click here for a full list of our key supporters.
