OPI European Forum 2009
9-11 December 2009
London, UK
"Congratulations and many thanks to you and your staff for the best OPI Conference yet. The first Global Forum was interesting, informative and very helpful. Everything from the blue chip attendance to the well thought through topics for discussion and presentation, as well as the impeccable service and venue made it a delight. I learned a lot, felt privileged to be invited and had a great time to boot. Thanks again and I look forward to next year's gathering"

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 held an international gathering in Chicago for senior executives and leaders within the business products industry. This was one of those rare opportunities to discuss the state of our industry and to examine together our universal challenges. The success of this event led to requests to hold a similar event for office products leaders in Europe. We hope to bring together some of the key elements of the recent Global Forum to this European event, which is scheduled for later this year."I was exceptionally pleased to have been invited to attend the OPI Global Forum. The open and collaborative nature of the group talking about the industry and how we all grow and prosper was very pleasing. The forum also gave me some very valuable insights and ideas about how Officeworks can serve customers better and develop stronger partnerships with suppliers"
Mark Ward, Managing Director, Officeworks

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 with no journalists in attendance, not even from OPI.
Guests
We have invited key leaders with business interests in Europe, including senior executives from leading office products companies in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australasia and North America.
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.
