Both WAN-IFRA communities – DistriPress and the World Printers Forum – will offer a growing range of resources: from webinars and events to topical discussions and beyond – to help our industry adapt, thrive, and shape the future of print. The Print Forward Initiative is for everyone in the industry, not just our members. Please feel free to share this with your network and invite them to join the conversation.
The first major activity in this initiative is a three-part webinar series this autumn, designed to give you new perspectives from up and down the supply chain. We will be looking at the bigger picture, our first set of webinars will feature the following topics:
- Navigating Legislation: How Compliance Drives the Future of Print & Distribution (4th September)
- The Big Squeeze: Challenges & Opportunities in a Cost-Centric Print & Distribution Industry (25th September)
- Emerging Innovations in Print Distribution: Smarter, Greener, Personalised (6th November)
The webinar recordings will be available some time after the presentations here.
The new website is also informing about print and distribution related upcoming events, as there are the:
- World Printers Forum 2025 in October in Munich and
- DistriPress Annual Congress in October in Malta.
Furthermore, the new platform also contains:
- Sustainability & Compliance Hub: Exploring expert insights and practical resources addressing evolving regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and their impact on the print and distribution industry.
- Strategic Intelligence & Market Insights: Accessing timely reports and expert briefings from the frontlines of global print and distribution — including trends in supply chains, procurement, print economics, and emerging market dynamics.
The Print Forward Initiative welcomes all who are enthusiastic about the future of print and distribution. They can join a dynamic global network exchanging ideas, insights, and opportunities – open to WAN-IFRA members and the wider industry alike.
