OPI European Forum 2012

‘’In upheaval times it is in our industry crucial to be informed, inspired and networked . Thanks to OPI for the first “European Forum”. Is was a great pleasure to join this trendsetting kind of a conference and the personal outcome exceeded by far all my expectations.’’  Christian Langvad, OTTO Office

We are delighted to announce that the OPI European Forum will be held in London on the 5-7 December 2012.

OPI Forums

As a leader you need to navigate through this period of economic difficulty and ensure the survival and success of your company. No one can do this alone and yet the opportunities where you can meet with your industry peers are rare - the people who understand the uniqueness of your sector and who recognise the importance of working together as an industry.

OPI European Forum

To help the OP sector in these challenging times OPI hosts CEO Forums in both Europe and the US for senior executives and leaders within the business products industry. The European Forum focuses more directly on the uniquness and the challenges of the European market. This is one of those rare opportunities to discuss the state of our industry and to examine together our universal challenges.

Invitation-only
This is not a large conference but a small, closed forum with invitations sent strictly to CEO/Chairman-level executives at leading resellers, manufacturers and wholesalers of office products, including "non-traditional" retailers and vendors from the increasingly important EOS and consumer electronics categories.

Not just talking heads
We will provide a number of speakers and moderators of an extremely high quality to stimulate thought and debate.

Networking
We understand that networking and free time is important, enabling you to spend quality time with fellow office products leaders from all over the world. There will be both structured groups, to give you an opportunity to meet new people and discuss ideas, and plenty of more informal time for more private discussions. To ensure this can be accomplished in an appropriate environment, the European Forum will be a private meeting operating under Chatham House rules. 

We are always keen to hear your feedback. If you have any comments then do let me know. If you would like to be considered for an invitation please email me.
