Free human resources event at PackPlus on 9 and 10 July 2009
Tuesday 07. July 2009 - Two events in July organised by IppStar
Last week the monsoon reached most of the country. This was good enough for the government to raise petrol and diesel prices in their bid to further align retail with oil procurement prices. Then yesterday the budget was delivered in parliament. Our organisation is getting ready for the PackPlus event at Pragati Maidan starts tomorrow the 8 th of July.
Free human resources event at PackPlus
IppStar – Ipp Services Training and Research will be organising a special human resources area (Hall 11 Stand 49) at the PackPlus event with the help of the organisers and educational and industry institutions such as the Heidelberg Print Media Academy in Chennai, and the SIES School of Packaging in Mumbai. Within this area IppStar will organise a Careers 4 U event on 9 and 10 July.
On the morning of 9 July 2009 we will conduct a free of charge seminar led by HR thought leaders from both outside and inside our industry aimed at executive level engagement. PV Indiresan former director of IIT Chennai, will deliver the keynote at the seminar. Heidelberg Print Media Academy head Rajendrakumar Anayath and other industry leaders, CEOs, HR managers and senior executives will comprise the panel and audience.
On 10 July 2009, a few select companies including York Prints of Kolkatta will make presentations to prospective personnel about the opportunities on offer. IppStar’s idea is to give the packaging industry a joint human resource platform to project itself as a large and fast growing high technology area with excellent opportunities for the best young people. The Careers 4 U program at PackPlus 09 is to initiate a discussion on the career issues and challenges faced by the HR managers in packaging and related companies and ambitious executive level personnel. Both employers and personnel looking for a change can register for both events on www.ippstar.org or by sending an email to infostar@ippgroup.in or research1@ippgroup.in or call Shilpa at +91 9990435396.
Packaging South Asia and Indian Printer and Publisher also have their own stand at the PackPlus09 exhibition in Pragati Maidan in Delhi Hall 13 Stand number 77.
Are we ready for print standardisation?
IppStar Monsoon Summit on ISO 12647 standards in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai
IppStar is organising another important event later in the month the Monsoon Summit on ISO 12647 implementation and certification that will take place on 14 July in New Delhi, 16 July in Mumbai, and 18 July in Chennai. The one-day intensives in New Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai will provide commercial and packaging printers with a comprehensive understanding of the ISO 12647 standard and the implications of its implementation. They will learn what the standard consists of, why it should be applied, what the implementation and certification process entails, how long it will take, and which prerequisites, costs and benefits are to be expected.
It seems that the interest for this event and for the next level of colour management implementation has perked up. We have received registrations from small companies and as many as dozen from larger multi-location companies. Now the newspaper registrations are rolling in.
This event makes sense for all interested in taking quality from a subjective and emotional level to a scientific and quantified eco-system including their customers and their reproduction process. While interesting for all who want to implement colour process standards in printing, our summit conferences are especially useful for offset prepress houses, commercial sheetfed printers and commercial and publication printers with heatset web offset presses. Of course it is important for the suppliers to be there as we go forward we will need measurable and consistent consumables papers, inks and plates.
We are counting on the rain to stop at 6 am every morning till 18 July, so that the Monsoon Summit can keep to schedule. Register, come on time if you are attending and bring your umbrellas!
