The popular OPS app is now launched and this time available in German and English. All participants will be able to use the app free of charge. It not only provides an overview of the speakers and start-ups, but also presents the programme and the partners of the accompanying exhibition.

Participants can then take an active part in the events on site: With anonymous, live questions to the speakers, no points are left unanswered, and by participating in the survey, attendees can help shape the future direction of the event. The individual topics of the speakers can also be evaluated. Push notifications during the OPS inform participants about upcoming presentations and everything they need to know. Participants can download the app here: https://www.online-print-symposium.de/en/app/

The wait for the announcement of the start-ups is finally over. Questions were raised more and more frequently as to who would be allowed to showcase themselves at the Insight Pitches and present their innovative solutions to the industry. Today the time has come with the first start-up being announced. Now until OPS, another unveiling will follow every week. Those interested can follow who will enrich the symposium under the following link, in the start-ups section: https://www.online-print-symposium.de/en/speakers/

Bernd Zipper, co-organizer from zipcon consulting, is already looking forward to the exchange with the start-ups: "We will definitely experience some surprises. The OPS will not only enable networking between start-ups with fresh, perhaps unconventional ideas, and the industry giants, but will also be an inspiration for all involved. Especially in times of crisis, both political and economic, the industry needs to stick together and jointly develop concepts for the future."

The partner exhibition has also once again gained new members: Xeikon, a long-time leader and innovator in digital printing technology, and Landa Digital Printing, developer of Nanography® technology for the commercial, packaging and publishing markets, will join the exhibition.
