As we move jerkily into a post-Covid world, it’s time to take a more positive and creative look at printing materials for marketing promotions, information and graphic displays in the retail, events and hospitality sectors.

This online event, presented by SD Online, will provide you with all the necessary tools to help you get to grips with the very latest materials technology and business opportunities. 

More recently, the sign and display industry has been focused on acrylic and perspex screens, rudimentary floor, surface and pop-up graphics for directions and basic safety messages. With this online event, we want to help sign-makers get back to their core business by showcasing how you can better work with your customers to maximise business opportunities. 

This SD Online event will include: 

• What the future holds for retail and hospitality sectors and how to maximise business
• The latest developments in office graphics and future opportunities in events graphics
• How you can better work with your customers to create eye-catching self-adhesive surface graphics in the retail and hospitality sectors
• A closer look at some of the latest innovations in materials and substrates
• Hear directly from sign-makers on their experiences and strategies for making money in the current economic climate

This is an interactive opportunity to ask questions and talk to experts from all areas of the industry, including manufacturers, suppliers and sign-makers.
