Kirsten Taylor, creative print director at Taylor’d Press, is the new chair of the PacPrint 2025 board, comprised of representatives from both the print and supplier sides of the industry.

PacPrint will take place in Sydney for the first time when it runs in May next year; it supersedes the PrintEx show, and will alternate between Sydney and Melbourne every two years.

The expo and conference are the biggest in the region, and are co-owned by print employers association VMA and suppliers’ association Visual Connections.

Joining Taylor on the board are VMA president and Lithocraft executive chair Kevin Pidgeon, along with Jonny Rumney from Celmac, Priscilla Dickason of Epson, Andrea Trumble of Pozitive, and Sharon Dowsey of Spicers.

“I feel privileged to become chair of the PacPrint25 board. I am grateful to be working with some very talented members of our industry, who share a passion for collaboration across our diverse sector,” Taylor said.

“Sharing the knowledge from our board members, who are exhibitors to customers and have long-standing industry experience, should bring together a fantastic show.”

PacPrint 2025 runs from 20-23 May at the Sydney Showgrounds in Olympic Park, Homebush.
