From Conversations to Connections: Bringing the Dscoop Experience to Africa

Most companies don't struggle with AI because of the technology. They struggle because they never connect it to how the business makes money. In this 45-minute session, RapidCanvas shares lessons from more than 100 enterprise AI initiatives. Ray Hsu and Burt White walk you through three principles that separate real impact from stalled pilots. Start with the P&amp;L. Not with tools, platforms, or pilots. Every AI initiative should trace directly to throughput, cost, or margin — or it shouldn't start at all. Treat AI as a role, not a feature. The companies seeing real results don't bolt AI onto existing software. They embed it into daily workflows, giving planners, operators, and supervisors a second brain that already knows the constraints, the history, and the options. Design for your operation, not the other way around. Adoption fails when people have to adapt to rigid systems. AI should flex to how your business actually works — from day one.If you are serious about turning AI into measurable results, this session shows you how.Hosted by Roy Eitan with Ray Hsu (VP &amp; GM, RapidCanvas) and Burt White (Strategic Advisor, RapidCanvas)

Enhancing Design Creativity with AI Tools

The realm of printing and publishing is changing by the day, namely through major drivers like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, sustainability, e-commerce, and, of course, the rising costs of producing and sending printing products. Here, German Sacristan from Keypoint Intelligence (global research/consultancy firm) takes us through things to pay attention to in 2026 and beyond and how to grab opportunities and overcome some of the challenges.

Printing Market Predictions

Bob Raus has spent 35 years in the graphics industry. He has worked with manufacturers, partners, and customers across the world. But ask him what drives him and the answer is simple: he wants to change how people think. Bob calls himself a tempered radical. He believes the future belongs to businesses that take smart risks, build cultures of innovation, and use technology to grow — not just to keep up.At HP Industrial Print, Bob is the driving force behind automation and integration. For four years running, he has led the Automation Hackathon at Dscoop Edge. Members bring real problems. They leave with real solutions. It is one of the most energising sessions at Edge — because it puts peers in a room together and lets them build. That is no accident. Bob believes community is not just a nice thing to have. It is the fastest way to move an industry forward. When print businesses share what they are automating — and what is not working — everyone learns faster.In this session, we go beyond the tools. Bob will talk about what motivates him, how he sees AI changing the integration landscape, and where he thinks the industry is heading over the next five years. We will also go behind the scenes of the new Automation Club on the Dscoop platform — a space for HP Industrial Print professionals to keep building, sharing, and solving together between events.
