theatres that are sure to draw the crowds.
The various events are split into four

The issues surrounding the environmental
impact of your business are to be well
catered for at the Sign & Digital UK
theatre. There are two companies

looking at different aspects and benefits
of 'going green'. Steve Lister, business

surrounding greener products, while
Steve Wicks of Greenprint Consultancy will
examine how businesses are best able to
market their environmentally responsible
activities, to both new and existing
customers.
Visitors to the show will also be able to
hear from two companies that have
travelled from the USA, especially to talk
