Business Theatre
The Business Theatre will be packed with practical sessions identifying new revenue opportunities for business owners looking to expand and improve their services for the year ahead.

In the ‘Tips and tricks using lasers’ sessions, Martin Horne, Trotec Laser MD will explore how a laser can help solve some of the common problems faced in the sign and print industry, as well as cover new ideas on how to utilise a laser machine to its full potential.
Visitors at last year's SDUKThe British Sign and Graphics Association will also run two workshops to help sign companies get to grips with changing industry legislation - covering crucial topics such as requirements under new European standards and the impact of changing building regulations on sign maintenance. There will also be an update on current health and safety issues, including the importance of getting risk assessments right. All sessions will use practical case studies and are aimed at sign companies of all sizes and specialties. There will be two workshops each day of the show.
In the ‘Fast track to creative vehicle wrapping’ session, Mimaki’s Mike Horsten will take participants on an interactive ride from the past to the future of vehicle liveries.

Each session is designed to help business owners get to grips with some of the most in-demand skills and techniques, with workshops covering vinyl application, vehicle livery and sign-board making.
Each topic is broken down into an introductory ‘First steps’ session, followed by a ‘Moving on from the basics’ advanced skills session. Each topic will end with an interactive Q&A session, where visitors will not only be free to ask questions, but also try their hand at the new techniques from the presentation.
