Print Media Academy Starts Third Winter University 2006 in Kuala Lumpur

For the third time print and media managers from around the world will get the chance to gain hands-on experience through one week of intensive training.

The Print Media Academy (PMA) of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) will hold their next Winter University (January 15-20, 2006) after the United Arabic Emirates and Brasil in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, one of the 13 sites within the international PMA network.

Designed as a complimentary program to the Summer University in Heidelberg, Germany, the Winter University provides participants with practical management expertise focusing on business strategies, innovative production processes, and sales in print media businesses.

In collaboration with industry experts from Europe and Asia Pacific like the Melbourne-based management consultancy "Synthesis Australia PTY Ltd.", PMA has developed program covering a wide range of topics. It offers insights into new marketing strategies, technology trends in the print media industry, finance and controlling as well as standardization and workflow issues. In order to be well prepared for the future, print and media executives will receive strategic hints on how to find new business opportunities and expand into new areas.

"During our next Winter University, we will support managers discover new opportunities to master the challenges of the print media industry - not just through professional lectures and workshops, but also by networking with other participants," says Bernd Schopp, Head of the Print Media Academy in Heidelberg. The open atmosphere within the group of participants from different nations offers many opportunities to exchange views and experiences, during and after classes. Breaks and evenings will be filled with a diverse program of activities and excursions. Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital and a melting pot of cultures and religions, also offers a great many sights and attractions that are just waiting to be explored.

Enrolment starts immediately. The seminar fee is 1,990 Euro (including accommodation, not including travel costs).
