Canon Goes Live! It’s Frontiers of Innovation with Expo 2020

In continuance with recent Canon (www.Canon-CNA.com) announcement on the launch of special LinkedIn live series of “Canon’s Frontiers of Innovation @Expo 2020” that will feature experts from the Middle East and Africa discussing a wide range of topical issues from a regional perspective. Canon together with Expo 2020 Dubai, will host the first special online live series to celebrate the print industry in the region. Join us (https://bit.ly/3CuotnS) to participate in the conversation on dynamic print industry as we are leading up to International Print Day 2021(October 21, 2021).

Since its launch five years ago, the lives series has become well known for bringing together the best speakers in the industry for insightful discussions – and the same can be expected of the upcoming September edition.

Taking place on September 27^th , 2021, live on the Canon EMEA LinkedIn page (https://bit.ly/3EAKS4A). The event will feature an exciting panel of industry experts, including Dina Storey – Director of Sustainability Operations, Expo 2020 Dubai, Dennis Micheni – Chief Executive Officer, Discover Brands3D Printing, Temitope Ekundayo, CEO, Printivo Limited, Nigeria and Zahir Hassan Managing Director, Power Print Dubai.

The speakers will provide a candid insight into the industry’s biggest challenges, from how the pandemic has affected the commercial and corporate print sectors, to predictions about how things will continue to unfold over time.

Other topics that will be explored during the hour include industry insights for the next 12 months – including technology and behavioral trends. And as no discussion about the print industry would be complete without looking at the role of automation in the print sector, the speakers will share their thoughts on the pros and cons of automation, and the roles they believe will never be automated.

Mai Youssef, Corporate Communications and Marketing Services Director, Canon Middle East and Canon Central and North Africa, commented: “With International Print Day just a few weeks away, we at Canon EMEA (https://bit.ly/2Xq8TdD) believe there’s no better way to celebrate the lead up to the day than by partnering with Expo 2020 to dedicate our upcoming episode of Frontiers of Innovation to one of the world's most interesting industries – the print industry.”

She added: “We’ve lined up a great panel of knowledgeable speakers who promise to deliver a lively session filled with honest insights that will benefit anyone interested in this sector.”

The September Frontiers of Innovation session will take place live on the Canon EMEA LinkedIn page (https://bit.ly/3ApzgyR), and future episodes of the webinar can be expected every month until April 2022.

About World Expos:
In 1851 the Crystal Palace was the centrepiece of London’s Great Exhibition – the first World Expo. It celebrated the man-made industrial wonders of a rapidly changing world. Architecture, contents and a theme, ‘Industry of All Nations’, were combined to create a big idea of nations meeting nations in shared technological and commercial progress. In more recent years, participants in World Expos, including governments, international organisations and companies, have gathered to find solutions to universal challenges and to promote their achievements, products, ideas, innovations, their national brand, and their nations as destinations for tourism, trade and investment.

World Expos are held under the auspices of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) (https://bie-paris.org), the intergovernmental organisation responsible for overseeing and regulating international exhibitions (‘Expos’) and for fostering their core values of Education, Innovation and Cooperation. Today, four types of Expos are organised under the BIE’s auspices: World Expos, Specialised Expos, Horticultural Expos and the Triennale di Milano.
