Presenter information:
Michael has reported on and worked for the print industry since 1987, when he was editor of Desktop Publishing Today, the UK’s first monthly trade magazine for the technology that is now used in every print company and design agency around the world.
He subsequently worked with major industry players such as Adobe Systems, Dalim, Fujifilm Graphic Systems, InfoTrends, Linotype, Scitex, Screen and X-Rite, including producing award-winning customer magazines. He has had freelance work published in a variety of industry titles in the print and professional photographic sectors and is the co-author of two books on digital image correction and colour management.
Michael has edited Digital Printer for the last five years, seeing the digital revolution in print progress from design and prepress through printing, finishing and now software for automation not only of production processes but of the entire print enterprise, from estimate to invoice.
Karl has worked in the more disruptive side of IT since leaving university where he studied Modern Languages and Linguistics. His solutions include the first Cloud environments, the first eBay shop solutions, the first Cloud-based multi-channel e-commerce solutions, and now he's turned his attention to Zaikio, the first ‘true platform for the entire print industry’, where he heads up partnerships.
Keith McMurtrie has been with leading UK MIS developer Tharstern for 31 years, joining as technical manager back in the days when the company only numbered seven people, before which he worked as a freelance developer in the video games industry.
His blend of commercial understanding and technical ability led to several firsts for Tharstern and he became managing director in 1995, before a buy-out in 2014 when the founder sold the business. Since then, the company has grown to some 60 people, rebranded, moved into purpose-built offices in Colne, Lancashire, pioneered significant product developments and launched into international markets.
Known in the industry for his knowledge of integrated workflows and JDF, he is regularly asked to speak on these topics at partner events.
Geoff has been in the paper industry for over 30 years, the last 20 of them with Premier, where he has held a number of positions, including Southern Operations Director. His role is to identify new opportunities where the company has the right portfolio and capability.
