The conference will include a keynote from Professor Willy Shih from the Harvard Business School on the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global supply chains. Mr. Shih will discuss how companies have been affected by a supply shock, closely followed by a demand shock, and how this is forcing them to rethink their supply chains.

●New Era: Mobile Labeling in the Cloud – discover how mobility, cloud-based labeling and emerging technologies are changing the landscape for printing
●Top Trends in labeling and packaging Artwork – get a sneak peek at industry trends for 2022

“We’re really excited about this year’s conference which follows the Loftware and NiceLabel combination earlier this year. Our union offers customers and partners an expanded choice of solutions, the benefit of greater investment in cloud-based technologies and over 60 years of combined expertise in the industry. Now Convergence provides us with the opportunity to showcase the industry’s most talented team and to highlight our complete portfolio of labeling and artwork solutions,” stated Robert O’Connor Jr., Loftware President and CEO. “Although we’ll be hosting virtual again this year due to the continued impact of the pandemic, the conference still provides a great opportunity for us to engage with customers and partners, create meaningful conversation around where the industry is headed, and to showcase Loftware’s recent product innovations,” he added.
