Online Print Symposium

What an incredible event! Bernd Zipper, Rick Azas and Florian Hommeyer brought powerful insights to #OPS2025 – from strategic industry trends to creator economy dynamics and bold brand storytelling. The first in-depth recaps are already live on beyond-print.de, with more to come in the weeks ahead. We can’t wait for next year! #OnlinePrintSymposium #PrintIndustry #BeyondPrint #CX #SocialCommerce #FutureOfPrint

In his keynote at #OPS2025, Bernd Zipper argued that trust is now more important than price. Customers today don’t just buy products, they buy into values, experiences, and reliability. From Social Commerce and Creator Economy to Print on Demand and Artificial Intelligence, eight key trends are redefining what it means to be successful in online print. The message: Onlineprint can still grow but it needs agility, creativity, and above all, customer-centric thinking.

Knapp eine Woche ist das Online Print Symposium 2025 her und ich bin immer noch sprachlos, wie man in dieser Industrie miteinander umgeht. Dieses Jahr war ich zum ersten Mal bei DEM Leitevent der Onlineprint-Industrie dabei. Was mich am meisten erstaunt hat? Die (leider) außergewöhnliche Art, wie in dieser Branche unter Wettbewerbern und Lieferanten miteinander umgegangen wird: Offenheit statt Konkurrenzdenken, Erfahrungsaustausch statt Geheimhaltung, Gemeinsames Lernen statt Einzelkämpfertum. 2,5 Tage lang drehte sich von morgens bis spätabends alles um eine zentrale, hochrelevante Frage: Wie erreichen wir maximale Kundenzentrierung in Zeiten von KI und kundenindividueller Massenproduktion? Diese Frage beschäftigt nicht nur die Onlineprint-Industrie, sondern jedes Unternehmen, das die Chancen der Digitalisierung ernsthaft nutzen möchte. Für mich persönlich gab es drei wesentliche Erkenntnisse: 1️⃣ Technologie allein macht noch keinen Unterschied. Entscheidend ist, wie Unternehmen ihre Prozesse und Kultur anpassen. 2️⃣ Kundenzentrierung beginnt bei einem tiefen Verständnis der Kundenbedürfnisse. Technologie ist nur Mittel zum Zweck. 3️⃣ Die Bereitschaft, über Unternehmensgrenzen hinweg voneinander zu lernen, macht eine Branche zukunftsfähig und resilient. Ein großes Danke an die Organisatoren, Speaker und Teilnehmer, die das Event zu einer echten Inspiration gemacht haben, VDM Beratung & zipcon Consulting und für die Einladung portavice GmbH 🙏 Wie erlebt ihr das Thema Kundenzentrierung in Zeiten von KI und digitaler Transformation?

Hier ein paar Impressionen vom 12. OPS - ich finde es immer MEGATOLL was Sebastian und Dirk von firmenvideo-nrw in so kurzer Zeit festhalten und umsetzen können. Anschauen! Lohnt sich.

What makes an industry future-proof? According to the OPS2025: Curiosity, collaboration and the courage to rethink everything. From AI to accessibility, from mass personalization to emotional storytelling, this year’s symposium was a powerful reminder that print is evolving, and it’s doing so with purpose.

Online Print Symposium 2025 had amazing speakers. However, there was one who was very special and received standing ovations - Jed Seifert from Stakes Manufacturing. Wayne Beckett interviewed him. He told the story about how his brother was his inspiration for INK Clusivity. This is an interview you should watch on INKISH.TV. #printingindustry #printing

The new EU Accessibility Act is set to reshape e-commerce, and online print is no exception. In today’s insightful discussion panel, Dr. Martin Schirmbacher (HÄRTING Rechtsanwälte) and Michael Darsow (CEWE Deutschland) took the stage to break down the challenges and opportunities this legislation presents. With in-depth presentations and a lively Q&A session, they tackled key questions: How will online printers need to adapt? What role can AI and taxonomy standardization play in overcoming complexity? The engaged audience made it clear—this topic is on everyone’s mind! ➡️ A huge thank you to our experts for guiding our industry forward. What are your biggest takeaways from the session? #OPS2025 #Accessibility #Ecommerce #WebToPrint #DigitalTransformation

Christoph Gamper, CEO & Co-Owner of Durst Group AG, took the #OPS2025 stage with a powerful and entertaining keynote that had the audience engaged from start to finish! Laughter, insights, and bold perspectives. His talk was a reminder that innovation isn’t just about technology, but about people, courage, and reinvention. “Europe’s strength lies in its ingenuity, craftsmanship, and relentless drive for excellence. Digital print is no longer just about speed or efficiency—it’s about personalization at scale, precision, and sustainability.” With a strong call to action, Christoph emphasized that Europe must take its chance now. The future of digital print belongs to those who lead, not those who wait. ➡️ What’s your take?
