We can't say enough in praise of this guy. John Wall has been an astute, wise, calm, generous and steady force on the Visual Connections Board for 20 years, and we will miss his input, and his presence around the Board table, more than we can say. From your Board colleagues and all the team at Visual Connections, we congratulate you on all you have achieved, and thank you for your tireless contribution to the industry, your support for us individually and collectively, and your friendship, which we value highly.

It was fantastic to be at the FPLMA Conference last week to hear from local and international experts about global industry trends and the latest technical advancements, set in context by an inspiring introductory keynote from Hon Kelly O'Dwyer from the National Reconstruction Fund Corporation. Great to see Sante Conselvan from FTA Europe and Koki Noritake from Japan FTA in the audience, underscoring the Association's strong global connections. Look out for the next issue of Labels Plus Magazine for the full wrap.

The Visual Connections team was saddened this week to hear of the passing of our friend and colleague, Tony Coniglio. We had a long and positive relationship with Tony and Pam, and the Conect team, and greatly respected their professionalism and passion for the industry. Well known for quality and innovation, and for a strong commitment to service and customer support, Conect reflected Tony's high standards, strong values and commitment to the sector. Tony also clearly demonstrated his passion for the future of the industry, mentoring many and forming strong and productive relationships across the sector, including with our team. More importantly, Tony was a devoted family man, and we send our sincere condolences to Paul and the entire Coniglio family, on his loss. Vale Tony.

If you've been thinking digital label productions is 'too expensive', you may be missing out on some massive business benefits. While some technologies and consumables might seem expensive at the outset, benefits in just-in-time delivery, reduced set-up times, workflow advantages and the ability to utilise lower-cost, 'unskilled' but digitally literate staff, can deliver impressive ROI...and deliver real value to your business. Domino outlines the whole picture in the latest issue of Labels Plus.
