LMAI gearing up for next conference

To be held at Jaypee Palace Hotel and Convention Centre, the event is expected to be attended by at least 450 printers and suppliers from the label industry. While 240 members attended the conference in 2011, the number increased to 360 in 2013 and 450 attended in 2015.

Sandeep Zaveri, LMAI president, said: ‘80 percent of registrations received to date are that of label printers. We are not solely focusing on numbers this time and ensuring quality printers attend the conference so suppliers get more value out of the event.’

While attending the recent L9 meeting in Beijing, Zaveri took the opportunity to invite 200 Chinese printers to the conference in July.

27 companies have confirmed their sponsorship of the conference, including APL Machinery, Avery Dennison, BST Eltromat India, E I Dupont India, Esko Graphics, Flexo Image Graphics, Flint Group, Gallus, Hubergroup India, Insight Print Communication, Intergraphic Pulisi, Kurz India, Loparex India, Macdermid, Monotech Systems, Multitec Aids, Numex Blocks, Omet, PGI Technologies, Reifenhauser India, Siegwerk India, SMI Coated Products, System Flexovision, Tesa Tapes, Tion Enterprises, UPM Raflatac and Vinsak.

‘Eminent speakers from each company will talk about the evolving Indian market, user accessibility of their technology and end user benefits, affordability and how to easily resource the technology,’ added Zaveri. ‘Each sponsor, this time, will also be allowed to make their sales pitch for 25 percent of the time allotted to them.’

Other than sponsor presentations, LMAI has brought forward the most popular feature from the previous edition – a round table discussion between sponsors and printer delegate members – to the 2017 conference.

Around the conference, presentations from two motivational speakers, yoga sessions in the morning and entertainment in the evening have also been organized.
