Eco Print Virtual Summit – October 2023
Preparations for the Eco Print Virtual Summit are well underway, and our commitment to fostering a greener print industry remains steadfast. Regardless of expertise or experience, acting for the environment is crucial, as even small efforts can make a significant impact. Our mission is to connect and educate print technology leaders and service providers, driving change and reducing environmental damage through events, content, and meaningful conversations.
During the Eco Print Virtual Summit, we'll share inspiring talks on sustainable success, highlight vital trends, and offer practical insights from experts and leading brands. The event is set to go live on the 11th and 12th of October. Pre-recording of many of the sessions will take place three weeks earlier at our LIVE studio in the Century Private Members Club in London's Shaftesbury Avenue, Soho, as we welcome 25 guest speakers from the industry on Friday 22nd September to join us in front of the 'camera'.
We have lined up an impressive array of speakers, including names such as Rachel Watkyn from the Tiny Box Company, Isabelle de Wolf representing Helloprint, Carlos Lahoz from HP, and Dr Stefan Kappaun, representing Durst. To read more about some of our speakers, please scroll down.
Isabelle de Wolfe - HelloPrint
Not long ago, Isabelle joined the print industry - to move it forward for the better. Isabelle is Sustainable Business Officer at HelloPrint, the online marketplace for customized print, which is active in 13 countries all around Europe. Being in the middle of the value chain of the print industry, she aims to collaborate with HelloPrint's partners, to achieve sustainable development and ensure our business's license to operate.
Rachel Watkyn, Tiny Box Company Ltd
Rachel spent her formative years in care after a traumatic early childhood. While working in Sierra Leone during the military coup, Rachel witnessed extreme poverty that drove her vision for a Fairtrade business. This began as a jewellery company, but her struggle to find recycled and environmentally friendly packaging sparked the idea for Tiny Box Company Ltd, to supply businesses with ethical, attractive packaging. Withstanding fire, flooding, an IT hack, Covid-19, and cancer, she has grown Tiny Box into a thriving company and is Dragon Den’s most successful female entrepreneur to date.
Rachel is a regular commentator on women’s entrepreneurship and leadership, green business practices, and sustainability.
