GelatoConnect Summit
Leaders. Innovators. Builders.
Biannually, the most forward-thinking producers in the GelatoConnect network come together in one room. Four editions in, the conversations that happen here shape how this industry moves.


Not a conference, but a room full of peers
The GelatoConnect Summit is not built around presentations and branded lanyards. It is built around the conversations that only happen when the right people are in the same room. Every session is designed to produce something you can act on the following week.
01.
Benchmark with the best
Hear directly from producers who have already solved the problems you are facing. Real numbers. Real operations.
02.
See what the future holds
Get early visibility on where the platform and the industry are heading. Summit attendees are always the first to know what is being built and why.
03.
Build relationships that last
The connections made at Summit turn into partnerships, referrals, and supply chain relationships that outlast the event by years. We make sure there is time and space for that to happen.

Every edition builds on the last.

Keynotes from the CEO
Henrik Müller-Hansen opens each edition with a forward-looking view of where print is heading and where GelatoConnect is taking the network. No slides reprinted from last quarter's deck.

Customer proof sessions
Producers from across the network share real operational numbers — growth achieved, costs reduced, processes changed. These are not polished testimonials. They are working sessions.

Hands-on working sessions
Not presentations — working sessions. Attendees consistently describe these as the highest-value part of the event. You leave with something concrete, not just notes.

Structured networking
Dinners, roundtables, and unstructured time designed to turn acquaintances into supply chain partners and referral networks. The relationships built here outlast the event.
