The organisers are delighted to present Markus Reckling, CSO at Deutsche Post DHL, as keynote speaker. Reckling will present his vision of the print communication of the future and discuss how mailings can retain their relevance even – or especially – in the digital age.

René Ruhland, CEO of myposter GmbH, will also be on stage. He will provide insights into the business strategy and reveal how to grow in a saturated market and compete against the "big players". The entrepreneur from the very beginning has only recently massively expanded its production capacity – it will be exciting to hear what René Ruhland and his team are planning for 2024.

Co-organiser Bernd Zipper, Managing Director at zipcon consulting GmbH, is already looking forward to the presentations: "With our two keynote speakers, we are bringing some real ‚hotshots‘ to the stage, as we do every year. The mix of topics from the other high-calibre speakers also shows that the focus of OPS 2024, with artificial intelligence, market development and opportunities as well as mass customisation, will, as always, have its finger on the pulse of the times."
