PRINT EXPO CONFERENCE - 15 MARCH 2007

PRINT EXPO CONFERENCE – 15 MARCH 2007

The organisers of the Print Expo Exhibition, to be held at Nasrec Exhibition Centre have approached the Central Chamber of PIFSA, with an invitation to arrange a conference on one of the days from 13 - 16th March, 2007. In order to accommodate this request, the Executive Committee agreed to move the date of the Annual General Meeting, from 15th March to 29th March, 2007.

Approaches were made to the largest exhibitors of the exhibition for assistance in financially subsidising the event and also to provide speakers from amongst their international guests who would no doubt be making use of the opportunity to travel to South Africa and meet the widest variety of customers, during the exhibition. As usual, this request by the Chamber was embraced with enthusiasm by these exhibitors and we are very pleased to announce the following programme:

Each of the sponsors has agreed to fund a cash subsidy to sponsor a lunch.

Registration details are on the form appended hereto but there are two options:

First Option - to book for the entire conference at a cost of R600, excluding VAT, which will include tea, coffee and the luncheon;

Second option - to book for one or more individual modules of the conference, at a cost of R150 each, excluding VAT. As it is impossible to forecast which of these delegates would require lunch, an optional lunch booking is available at an extra R50, excluding VAT. Companies who book more than one delegate for one or more individual modules, are entitled to a R25 discount on each module.

All delegates who book will be given a complementary entry ticket to the  exhibition 

Any persons requiring additional information are invited to contact Patrick Lacy or Nicky Cowell at 011 699 3044.

While doing articles and solutions development, Graeme became interested in understanding the so-called "generation gap" - why young people found it so easy to enter the "new economy" and handle technology, while experienced adults could not - and why adults were sceptical, cynical and even hostile. In order to gain some theoretical insights,


Graeme personally presents to about 100,000 people a year, sharing the platform with the likes of Edward de Bono, Jonas Ridderstrale and Neil Armstrong. Graeme is the co-author of two best-selling books, "Mind the Gap" (2004) and "Mind Over Money" (2002).


Graeme has five degrees, including a PhD in Business Administration. He is a prolific writer, with two best-selling books published by Penguin, and has sold nearly 30,000 copies of his books in the past few years. Graeme also writes for numerous journals and magazines, as well as his own website and blog. He is a member of the National Speakers Association of South Africa, as well as the International Federation of Professional Speakers.


Dr Graeme Codrington studied a BComm at WITS, while doing Chartered Accountancy articles with KPMG. He majored in Accounts and Information Systems, and was involved at KPMG in automating their audit processes. He left KPMG in 1993 to join an entrepreneurial start-up company, which was revolutionising computer training at the start of the e-commerce era.


The cost of the dinner this year will be R170.00 per person (including VAT).
