Why Attend ITEX
Print is Never Coming Back
Pivotal Point for Dealers - Supply Chain
COVID has forever changed the landscape of almost every market, and it was a huge wakeup call for the office equipment industry. Almost everyone experienced hardware sales and print volume declines as offices closed last year. Even as we see offices begin to re-open the office environment will still see a different future to where it was pre-pandemic. Luckily, some were able to pivot and even expand into areas that helped to stave off an inevitable and disastrous outcome, while others weren’t so lucky and struggled to keep their doors open. The industry is at a crossroads today, where several will need to make some tough decisions to – transform, diversify, and collaborate.
Keypoint Intelligence & ITEX have teamed together to help paint a path forward for our industry. We may not be able to predict the entire future, but we can help with our learnings from the past, newest research findings, as well as bring together industry leaders that can all help you to see a clearer future and start putting the pieces together for the office & dealer of the future.
