Learn from Customers

Visitors to the Agfa booth will be treated to live sessions on a variety of business development topics conducted by Agfa’s employee experts and customers.

Presentations and Demonstrations

The outer corners of the booth will offer presentations and demonstrations highlighting the operational efficiencies achieved by using Agfa technology. They will include enterprise software, CtP and inkjet technology topics.

The interior of the booth will welcome visitors to participate in user panel discussions, business development consultations and technology and business sessions. Agfa will also arrange private consultation sessions on a variety of topics, including color management, networking and integration, and automated workflow.
