HP’s global users conference Dscoop Edge has been rescheduled to May 16 -18, 2021 in St. Louis, Missouri, and online, following the postponement of Edge Orlando 2020 that was to have taken place in March. “Due to COVID-19, we are excited to bring you the rescheduled event, Dscoop Edge Fusion,” HP said. “Edge Fusion will be a smart blend of in-person and online activities, live and livestreamed, for a global hybrid experience.”
A statement from HP says:
Many sessions will focus on helping you adapt and thrive in challenging times, tailored to the needs of specific markets and geographical regions. You’ll also gain the latest insights on industry technology and trends; expand your technical skills on current and new equipment and applications; and connect with the people you want to see, share and learn from most.
Your Edge, Your Way
If you choose a face-to-face experience — much like past highly-rated Dscoop Edge events – we’ll meet you in St. Louis, Missouri, USA at the America’s Center convention center, with hotel accommodations at the Marriott St. Louis Grand hotel right across the street, and the Courtyard St. Louis Downtown hotel, just one block away. If you choose to stay closer to home or can’t make those travel dates, we’ll have virtual and blended options using excellent new meeting platforms and livestream technology. In every scenario, we’ll have the highest safety standards in place and a focus on engaging, relevant, and forward-thinking content.
More Access
We’ll be uploading sessions and workshop to Dscoop.com as they happen, providing you with on-demand access and the ability to create your own conference schedule to supplement your in-person or online experience.
More Time
Expanded event hours will accommodate different time zones, so no matter where you are in the world, no attendee will be left behind! You’ll be able to connect globally with your like-minded peers in a way that’s interactive and meaningful, as you learn the latest information, strategies and best practices for adapting to current events and planning for the future.
“We know there’s no experience like a face-to-face Dscoop Edge experience. There’s also no doubt about the value of on-demand education and the focused approach of virtual training, demos and workshops. Edge Fusion won’t be an ‘either/or.’ It will be a ‘YES, AND!’ Expect an amazing experience for every role in your company, for printers and partners alike, regardless of how you decide to join us.” Keith Wilmot, CEO, Dscoop.
More News to Come
The Dscoop team will update you as we continue to build an exciting, valuable, global event that helps your business and your team grow. No matter how you join in, you’ll leave Edge Fusion with key action items, expanded skills, new friends and business connections, deeper insights, and a renewed feeling of why you fell in love with digital print in the first place.
“It has been an unprecedented time for our customers… you have faced challenges, persevered, and in many cases, created incredible innovation and collaboration,” says Haim Levit, who was appointed General Manager for HP Indigo following Alon Bar-Shany’s departure in June. HP is a premier partner of Dscoop. “We want to make sure we’re doing everything we can to help Dscoop members regain business, create continuity and growth, and get the insights, training and awareness they need to move forward – no matter what the new normal brings.”
More Need to Adapt and Adjust
Your safety is, of course, still paramount. Taking our lead from global health regulations, Dscoop will adapt and adjust plans for Edge Fusion as necessary. The schedule, activities and technology will work in concert, so we’ll be able to shift quickly if needed. Whether you join us online, in person, or a combination of both, Edge Fusion will reach the maximum number of HP Graphic Arts users and bring each attendee the maximum amount of value.
“The unique thing about being part of Dscoop is that I have never felt alone,” says Jay Dollries, Owner, Innovative Labeling Solutions, and Dscoop’s Global Board Chairman. “We’ve always been in this together, helping each other through the years however we can. I think we could all use a lot of ‘Edge,’ inspiration and connection, to learn from each other and rise up together. I’m looking forward to that, in whatever form it takes.”
