In addition, Innovate 06 seminars are also planned for Cape Town and KwaZulu-Natal on September 20 and September 22 respectively.

The seminar series gives print providers and marketing, creative and design services professionals a chance to talk to industry experts about using digital printing to establish the right business model, build the right workflow and choose the right technology, says Amanda Hetherington, senior product manager at Bytes Document Solutions. Sharing their experience and knowledge of the industry, speakers will present on a variety of topics, such as how proven business development tools can boost profit, how to streamline digital workflow for maximum efficiency and profitability, how partnerships are vital for success, and how to better design jobs for digital printing.

Industry experts presenting at Innovate 06 include:
* Chris Sykes, CEO of the Printing Industry Federation;
* Peter Muir, an independent print industry specialist;
* John Cable, Xerox business development manager; and
* Tony Kenton, industry expert, consultant and author.

During last years seminar we heard from industry presenters who delivered objective information about applications, industry trends and customers, says Jerome Maggerman, marketing director at Burlington DataPrint. The presentations were thought-provoking and made us want to find ways to capitalise on business opportunities. Based on initial impressions, we had expected a Xerox sales seminar, but instead walked away believing that this type of event is the one to attend.
