Free expert business advice at PWL!

PrintWeekLive!, which opens its doors tomorrow, will feature free one-to-one business advice and mentoring sessions for visitors, but places are filling up fast.

One of PWL!’s flagship features is the Ask the Expert zone, where visitors can book one-to-one, 20-minute meetings or mentoring sessions with 10 experts who can offer free advice across a broad range of topics.

Experts from the BPIF will be on hand to offer advice to members and non-members on topics including: apprenticeships, colour management, the environment, health and safety, HR, legal services, and training.

“Usually this kind of expert consultancy advice would only be available to BPIF members,” said PrintWeek editor Darryl Danielli.

“And when you combine that with the expert mentoring advice that will also be available on the Ask the Expert stand, then I expect it will be one of our most popular features at the show.”

Some of the PWL! conference and workshop speakers, including Webmart founder Simon Biltcliffe, former AJS labels owner Andrew Scrimgeour, Blue Buffalo director and print procurement specialist Neil Smith, IPIA chief executive and sales coach Marian Stefani and London Digital Security Centre chief executive John Unsworth, have offered their mentoring and advisory services to PWL! visitors.

Their collective mentoring expertise covers topics such as business growth and development, buying or selling as business, smart procurement, sales coaching and online and data security.

The free 20-minute sessions are available on a first-come, first-served basis and each expert is only available for a limited period of time. To see the full schedule, visit the Ask the Expert area on PrintWeekLive.com.

To reserve a session with one of the experts or mentors, contact Sophie Kerr on sophie.kerr@markallengroup.com or 020 7501 6343 today.

Walk-up appointments may also be available at the show, but you are strongly advised to make the Ask the Expert zone one of your first ports of call to book a meeting for later on the day of your visit.

The live schedule can be viewed on the Ask the Expert stand at the show and bookings can be made at the reception desk on the stand (J1).
