Professor Schellnhuber of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact research is one of the 'visionaries' slated to speak at EcoPrint this September

A line-up of 'sustainability visionaries and global brands' will take to the stage at EcoPrint 2012, with nearly 50 events scheduled to take place at the show on September 26th and 27th.

The programme of conferences and seminars will include keynote speeches from two of the world's leading sustainability experts: Cradle to Cradle author Professor Doctor Michael Braungart and founding director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Professor Hans Joachim Schellnhuber.

Senior executives from blue-chip brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola and Toyota will also speak at EcoPrint's two special presentation spaces, at the main stage under the 'Think!' banner and under 'Talk!' in The Round debating area.

"It’s the content of this show that will set it apart from any other print industry trade show," says Frazer Chesterman, director, EcoPrint. "Attending EcoPrint will not be a passive experience – it’s designed to be immersive and engaging and to that end, we have collected leading thinkers, print buyers and sustainability visionaries; people of action who are designed to inspire."

"Some of these speakers represent the very people who are increasingly raising the issue of sustainability with print businesses – can anyone afford not to hear what they’ve got to say?"
