OPI Global Forum Download Programme
17-19 November 2010
Park Hyatt, Chicago, USA
I recently attended the OPI conference for CEO’s in Chicago and found it to be outstanding quality and value. The mix of suppliers, wholesalers and dealers; domestic and foreign; office products and other sectors made the presentations and networking opportunities to be first rate. I will undoubtedly return to future conferences using this format.
Jim Preston, CEO, BPGI
In May 2009 OPI launched the first CEO Forum for the business products industry. This was an international gathering for senior executive leaders and provided a rare opportunity to discuss the state of our industry and to examine together our universal challenges. This event was incredibly successful and the attendes derived great value from meeting with their peers and discussing openly the challenges we all face.
The program was world class .The time and investement was well worth it. I was able to network with many industry leaders that proved to be extremly valuable.
Mike Gentile, President/CEO, is.group
OPI will host the second CEO Forum in November 2010 in Chicago and we plan to again bring together an exceptional audience and an outstanding programme. We hope this forum will provide you with the opportunity to discuss our industry's unique challenges with the people who understand the uniqueness of our sector and who recognise the importance of working together as an industry.
Invitation-only
This is not a large conference but a small, invitation-only forum with invites 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 as well as plenty of informal times for more private discussions. To ensure this can be accomplished in an appropriate environment, this will be a private meeting with no journalists in attendance, not even from OPI.
Guests
We have invited key leaders from all around the globe, including senior executives from leading office products companies in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, India, Latin America and Australasia. Invites have been rationed to those companies that are truly among the market leaders.
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.

OPI Ltd
I talked to some of the participants after the Global Forum and we all agreed that this was first of all a fantastic idea to get together in such a smaller group of excecutives. It was one the best events ever taken place with OPI. Apart from the concrete and open presentations and discussions which have given a lot of new insights and know how to me, it was very valuable to talk to old friends and to meet new friends and build up new relationships. I am looking forward to join your next event.
