The GelatoConnect City Tour is coming to your region
GelatoConnect is bringing a series of invitation-only events to seven cities across North America, Europe, and Australia this spring. These aren't vendor conferences. They're working sessions where print business leaders from the GelatoConnect network share real operational results and answer questions from peers evaluating the platform. If you run a print operation and want to understand how the network transforms profitability and scale, these events are worth your time.
Why the City Tour exists
The GelatoConnect Summit started in September 2024 in Fiskebäckskil, Sweden, and has continued quarterly since then. It brings together the most forward-thinking print producers for benchmarking, product roadmap previews, and peer relationship building. Feedback from potential customers was consistent: they wanted access to these conversations and wanted to hear directly from producers who've already made the transition. The City Tour is the answer. It brings the Summit playbook to seven cities so more print leaders can attend.
What happens at each stop
Each event is a single day structured for one decision-maker per company. The format includes a keynote from GelatoConnect CEO Henrik Müller-Hansen on the network and market opportunity, customer sessions where producers share operational results, a commercial conversation, dinner, and structured networking. These aren't panel discussions or vendor pitches. They're working sessions where operators ask questions directly of peers who've already transformed their operations.
Who's speaking
The producers sharing their results are the ones actually running the operations. Connor Pera from The Print Authority operates 5 to 10 years ahead of competitors at his scale and has achieved approximately 10 percent lower shipping costs through the network. David Bennett from Bennett Graphics reduced waste from 41 percent to 10 percent, capturing annual savings of USD 125K-135K. Daniel Oschatz increased production capacity by 20 to 25 percent without adding new hires. Andreas Bach from SCS sees a path to doubling revenue. Ryan Acres from Print Clever runs a developer-friendly, API-first operation serving complex global brands. These are real producers with real results, and they're willing to share how they achieved them.
Where and when
The City Tour spans seven cities in spring 2026. In North America: Chicago on April 14 and Atlanta on April 16. In Europe: Frankfurt on April 28 and London on May 11. In Australia: Sydney on May 19 and Melbourne on May 21. All North American events are hosted at Hyatt Centric properties. Gelato covers two nights of hotel accommodation and all meals for attendees, removing logistical friction so participants can focus entirely on the conversation.
Who should attend
These events are invitation-only with one decision-maker per company. If you're a print business owner, COO, or operations director, you should attend. The conversation is focused on how to compete in a market increasingly defined by short-run demand, e-commerce fulfillment, and the need for flexibility and speed. If those challenges sound familiar, your peers are gathering to discuss solutions. Registration closes one week before each event.
Key takeaway
The print operators succeeding in 2026 are the ones solving short-run, multi-job, e-commerce fulfillment challenges through network connection and automation rather than through hiring and capacity expansion. The City Tour is your opportunity to sit across from peers who've already navigated these decisions and to evaluate whether the GelatoConnect network is the right move for your business. These conversations happen once per year in each city, and spaces are limited.
Request your invitation to your region's City Tour and join the print leaders building the next generation of competitive advantage in print production. The conversation starts in April.
