Mimaki to host virtual event series to support the prints amid COVID-19 crisis
26 June 2020: Mimaki Europe is gearing up to host a three-part virtual event series – Mimaki Live – to support customers looking for inspiration and advice on how to maintain or revive business after the COVID-19 crisis.
Building on the success of Mimaki’s Virtual Print Festival in March and April this year, Mimaki has created an exciting and insightful 3-day programme for three market-focused virtual events:
Event I – Sign Graphics – 30th June 2020
Event II – Textiles – 14th July 2020
Event III – Industrial Printing – 27th August 2020
Each event will provide a platform for Mimaki representatives, customers, and suppliers to discuss the impact the COVID-19 crisis has had on their business and the wider industry, as well as share their experiences, challenges, and success stories.
In a statement to the media, Danna Drion, Senior Marketing Manager, Mimaki, said: “Amid COVID-19’s negative impact many of our customers have been able to find ways to remain in business and even support their local communities during this challenging time. Their stories are incredibly inspiring. So, our aim is to demonstrate how creative and resourceful businesses across the print industry have been in the face of a global crisis. Through these stories and the wider event programmes, we hope to play our part in helping to re-energise this incredibly tenacious and resilient industry and support printers as they navigate a new business landscape.”
The Mimaki Live events will feature a host of engaging panel discussions, opinion polls, live chats and Q&As, all designed to prompt important, topical discussions and share information and advice across the print community.
Drion concludes, “During this unprecedented time, we need to find new ways to connect and communicate as an industry. Virtual events, such as the Mimaki Live series, provide an opportunity to do that and we’re looking forward to being able to, once again, engage with our entire customer and partner network and initiate some crucial discussions about how the industry moves forward from here.”
