Basketball hall of famer and international business leader Earvin “Magic” Johnson will deliver the main keynote at this year’s Dscoop Edge St. Louis World Expo. The NBA legend will talk about teamwork and leadership during Dscoop’s flagship conference, to be held on 7-10 May at the America’s Centre in downtown St. Louis.

Registration is now open for the annual event, which is pitched as “the perfect opportunity for print professionals around the world to learn new strategies, discover new tools and technologies, meet new partners, and have some fun”.  Dscoop says the conference is an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to improve their business, their team or themselves. Keynotes, education sessions, networking time and the famous Dscoop Party are all part of that value. Planned education tracks include sales and marketing, business, automation, operations and sustainability.

“The Dscoop global community keeps growing, and it’s a testament to the amazing energy level, optimism and idea-sharing of our members across the world,” says Peter van Teeseling, Dscoop’s executive director. “This is a community of print mavericks, and there’s nothing quite like the energy of everyone gathering in-person! We also look forward to welcoming many first-time attendees looking to advance their business or career with digital print.”

HP and other partners will be bringing equipment, showcasing business-building technology and discussing new market opportunities. For Australian and New Zealand attendees, local representatives from Currie Group and HP will be in attendance and arranging site visits.

“So many of our customers around the world are involved in Dscoop not just to learn how to get the most value from their HP Indigo and HP PageWide technology, but also because of what they can learn from each other,” said Haim Levit, senior vice president & general manager, HP Industrial Print.

“Dscoop is the most powerful network in print, and I am looking forward to the conference so we can listen to real-time feedback from our customers and better understand how HP can help them grow. I’m excited that HP will have a major presence in St Louis this year.”

The event’s website includes hotel and travel information, the schedule at-a-glance and more, and full descriptions of the education sessions will be published there soon.
