Digital label press manufacturer Xeikon will hold its first Café events in Australia and New Zealand this month, which will give brand owners a chance to meet with converters.

In line with Xeikon’s “Learn. Connect. Discover.” theme, the three day-long conferences in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland will allow converters and brand owners to explore the possibilities of digital technology, according to Trevor Crowley, general manager at Xeikon Australia.

"It’s a very good opportunity for people to come and get some input into changes in digital technology, and also get a better understanding of what technology would best suit their applications,” he said.

Guest speakers will include Dr Adrian Steele from the UK’s Mercian Labels, and the event will cover topics ranging from conventional vs digital, to where to implement digital and how to sell it.

“Xeikon Café’s carefully developed focus makes it a must-attend event for brand owners and converters looking to explore the benefits and opportunities offered by digital print,” said Crowley. “We are delighted to bring its successful format to Australia and New Zealand and look forward to sharing our knowledge with attendees keen to enhance their digital print expertise.”

The dates for the three Café events are:

Sydney: June 18
Melbourne: June 20
Auckland: June 22
