Keynote Speaker: Everybody Matters, Bob Chapman – Chairman of Barry-Wehmiller Cos., Inc
Business is about leadership. In a style that will appeal to everyone, Bob Chapman, best-selling author and Chairman of $2+ billion Barry-Wehmiller Cos., Inc. – an 11,000-member strong global supplier of manufacturing technologies and services – will deliver the 10th Annual Print UV keynote address on a topic that simply must be heard. Everybody Matters is not only the title of his book and the subject of his recent Ted Talk, but also a revolutionary way to lead any organization with the simple philosophy of “truly caring” for each person. In Bob’s case, he applied the philosophy to his entire company of over 100 locations in 28 countries, and it has sparked a global movement towards Truly Human Leadership – an action-backed philosophy now being studied by Harvard, and put into daily action via the Barry Wehmiller Leadership Institute in St. Louis. This keynote is guaranteed to inspire!

H-UV to LED UV! Are we at a tipping point?
Pat Keogh – AMS Spectral UV and Steve Metcalf – AMS Spectral UV
These days you cannot go even a few days without hearing about another LED UV press going into production somewhere in the world in sheetfed, web offset, flexo, packaging or digital label, and all reporting incredible results. The ROI is real, for those looking to take printing to another level, LED UV has reached a tipping point. But what can you expect in the way of the changeover? What type of coatings, special effects, plastics, and consumables are available to enhance the process? What is around the corner with LED development? All these questions and more will be addressed now.

Plastics Panel:
Mr. McGuire: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word.
Benjamin: Yes, sir.
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Plastics.
Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?
Plastics and other heat sensitive substrates offer your customers the ultimate in differentiation. Getting a salable product off the press, without losing all your margin, is a whole different story. Our panel of experts will guide you through the maze of issues that confront plastic printers, including how much does heat really impact every job?
4:30 PM (Brahms)
Choosing the right blanket for the right substrate
We have spent a tremendous amount of time devoted to choosing the right coating blankets, but the type of blanket and surface you choose can be the difference between success and failure. We will also try to understand how UV inks impact the longevity of the blanket as well.
THURSDAY MARCH 30th (EVENING)

A lifetime of innovation in the pressroom
Before we hit the coating topics, a retired master in the pressroom from the highest end of the packaging market offers his advice on developing innovations in the pressroom. Everything we discuss at Print UV is an innovation that started in the minds of people who were confident enough to step out and give their idea to the world. John will again give us his wisdom on how to draw out the best from your people by setting up a culture that feels safe in forging ahead with new ideas.

How did you make that? Part Two:
Artic Fire Coatings - A Color Shift You Want!

LED and H-UV Coatings - Ready for Prime time!
For the last decade, we have discussed the up-and-coming UV technologies of LED, H-UV and low-energy curing. A few years back, we all saw the success of these competing systems on inks and a world of substrates, but the biggest question remained the quality of the coatings. Our panel of expert formulators breakdown where UV coatings stand for LED and H-UV, and discuss any remaining barriers or concerns they have left.
2:15 PM (Brahms)
UV Rollers:
We cannot have a Print UV without discussing rollers! Our experts will answer: Which material should we choose? How should I maintain them? How often should I replace them? The difficult subject of washing up when switching from UV to conventional will be given a clear road map to avoid the problem that arise!
2:45 PM (Beethoven)
Break - Sponsor Area
Join us for one last break before the final stretch of Print UV!

LED Experiences Panel:
LED UV printing continues to make headlines and currently has the fastest rate of adoption of any UV technology world-wide. Earlier at Print UV, we heard from the manufacturers about the rapid pace of improvements in the LED hardware and processes. Now we would like to bring it back to the printers who have recently adopted the technology and hear from them the good, the bad, and the future of what they need the industry to provide.
We will break the discussions into two topics: LED perfecting and LED on straight machines.
4:15 PM (Brahms)
End of Conference - Closing Remarks
Special announcements will be made at the conclusion of the 10th Annual Print UV Conference.
