2024 ENCORE Leadership Conference
The ENCORE Leadership Conference on September 23 promises to be an enlightening event tailored to the needs of Graphic Media Alliance members. Following a year-long effort in 2024, where the GMA team engaged in one-on-one visits across all regions, this conference reflects the most pressing concerns and interests of its members. The sessions are specifically designed to address the evolving dynamics within the printing and packaging industries and to provide actionable insights for leaders navigating these changes.
The conference kicks off with Session 1, focusing on how the “Haves” are transforming the printing and packaging industries, offering a deep dive into the forces reshaping these sectors. This is followed by a session on the importance of inclusive leadership in changing industry landscapes, emphasizing the need for diverse perspectives and inclusive practices. Participants will also explore how to embrace innovation and introduce new ideas in what is traditionally a conservative industry, fostering a culture of creativity and forward-thinking.
The afternoon sessions take a more personal turn, with topics like leading with empathy and emotional intelligence, which are essential skills for today’s leaders. The focus then shifts to cybersecurity in “Guarding the Gate,” addressing the increasing risks posed by AI and insider threats, and offering strategies to enhance cyber hygiene. Finally, the conference concludes with practical sessions on marketing techniques and implementing printing electronics in printing plants, providing attendees with cutting-edge strategies to stay competitive in the market.
With ample opportunities for networking and engaging with industry peers, the ENCORE Leadership Conference is a must-attend event for professionals looking to stay ahead in the dynamic world of printing and packaging.
