A virtual one day event to address the post COVID-19 environment.
Recovery, Strategy, Leadership.
Future Focus brought to you by VMC, BOSS and BPIF is a one day online event for the business supplies, printing and creative digital industries driven by the immediate concerns of coping with the current challenges of emerging from lockdown and planning the way ahead.
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically altered the business landscape and each industry while facing individual challenges is experiencing the effect of generic trends which have been accelerated by this crisis. The future of work, a greater focus on health and a completely digital native, socially distanced, mass consumer.
As a collective we have gathered the best speakers cross sector to share inspirational ideas and practical foresight. Case studies of innovation throughout COVID-19 will combine tangible business solutions with examples of inspiring leadership. Panel sessions to debate the way forward for each sector are featured and we encourage our audience to join this debate.
