Apply to Attend the 2025 Wide-Format Summit

Now in its fifth year, the annual Wide-Format Summit, presented jointly by Wide-format Impressions and PRINTING United Alliance, is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for wide-format producers seeking to grow their businesses.
The Summit — which provides qualifying attendees with two-and-a-half days of intensive learning, consultation, discovery, and networking — focuses on connecting wide-format producers with the equipment and solutions they need and providing them with deep insight to help determine their paths forward.
The Event
This year’s event will take place at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa (Miami, Florida), July 21-23, and features an expertly curated agenda, kicked off by keynote presenter Marco Boer, vice president of I.T. Strategies.
In Boer’s opinion, the annual Wide-Format Summit brings three key value pieces. First, he says, is that attendees can learn about the latest and greatest equipment and trends, and how they can improve profitability and profits. Second, he shares that the event is a time-efficient way to visit all the vendors you might be considering for a future purchase in an environment conducive to results-based discussions.
Through the Summit’s unique format, he says attendees can take, for instance, one piece of information and ask all providers the same question to find the best solution available. Finally, Boer says he believes the social aspects of the event are paramount.
The Agenda
The high-intensity and idea-rich event includes thought-provoking and insightful general sessions selected to meet the needs and interests of wide-format producers. It also includes vendor case studies, where OEMs and software developers provide real-world examples of how their solutions worked to meet the needs of wide-format companies. Finally, it includes two clusters of one-on-one meetings with any of the event’s more than 40 sponsoring companies. Its “speed-dating” format enables producers and vendors to drill down into specific wants and needs, bringing companies closer to the solutions they seek.
The Connections
Another key benefit of the event is the networking and the strong connections between attendees. Over food, drinks, and entertainment, attendees are given strong opportunities to share, learn, grow, and connect with each other.
While the end products they produce and the vertical markets they serve may be very different, two key things unite Wide-Format Summit attendees. First, they all use the capabilities of wide-format inkjet and the technologies and solutions that support it. Second — and more meaningfully — they are on a growth trajectory, seeking new opportunities, sourcing new equipment, and plotting where they can go from here.
If that sounds like your wide-format business, apply to attend this groundbreaking event. wideformatsummit.com
