 This year's publishing format revolves around the topics of color, standardization and automation. Speakers will provide answers to questions from the industry and highlight trends for the media production of the future, while manufacturers and suppliers will also present their products. The Publishing Forum is being organized for the second time this year by the Prepress Switzerland specialist group of the Swiss Printing Industry Association (VSD). It will take place on Tuesday, November 27, 2007, at the Kongresshaus Biel with a focus on color management and automation. In the foyer of the Kongresshaus, manufacturers and suppliers will be giving product presentations on the tools used in media production to monitor their processes, optimize data and control processes.
In the morning, Erwin Widmer, Florian Süssl, Eddy Senn and Stephan Jaeggi will present facts on colour management and standardization according to ISO 12647 in the areas of proof evaluation, current standards, the correct setting of data and the PDF workflow with media-neutral data. In the afternoon, Bernd Zipper, technology and strategy consultant from Germany, will give an overview of the new possibilities in publishing opened up by "web-to-print". He will not only look at current solutions, but also venture a look "outside the box" and present his vision of future publishing. Stefan Jaeggi uses a practical example to illustrate the current possibilities of automation.
Access to the product presentations by manufacturers and suppliers is free, but admission to the specialist presentations is subject to a charge. The seminar pass costs CHF 280, for VSD members CHF 180 (prices plus VAT). It also includes admission to the product presentation in the foyer of the Congress Center.
