FESPA “Coffee Break” Webinars Set to Return

(PRESS RELEASE) DORKING, UK – FESPA has announced the return of its “Coffee Break” webinars, hosted by Graeme Richardson-Locke, the group’s head of associations and technical lead.

This second series will offer the opportunity for printers to hear from industry experts on four main topics: process control, sustainability, color management, and automation.

The second series has been launched in response to the positive responses from attendees of the first eight webinars which took place from October 2020 to March 2021. The episodes attracted 1,085 attendees in total, from 130 countries, over 75 percent of whom submitted positive feedback.

In the first webinar of the new series, taking place on Tuesday May 18 at 11 a.m. BST, Graeme will be joined by FESPA’s color expert and owner of The Missing Horse Consultancy, Paul Sherfield, as well as Craig Dennis, reprographics specialist and founder of the Colour Den. In the episode, the experts will discuss customer satisfaction and how printers can meet and exceed expectations.
