Relive REIMAGINE

Taking place between June 1-3, 2022 at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa, REIMAGINE proved to be the perfect stage to reunite the Kyocera team with Dealers, Partners, and industry analysts.

The action-packed three days featured a number of highly-anticipated presentations and discussions with the Kyocera Executive Team, as well as the Technology Fair which showcased the very best of Kyocera printing devices and software solutions. REIMAGINE attendees were also treated to a vast array of Education Tracks, exclusive masterclasses from outside the printing industry which examined how organizations can add new value to what they do.

Here is REIMAGINE by the numbers

The General Session

Day 1 of REIMAGINE kicked off with members of the Executive Team taking to the main stage to present their own unique vision for Kyocera. They outlined the current challenges and opportunities in the industry, as well as how the organization aims to add new value for both customers and Dealers going forward.

Panel Discussion

Day 2 of REIMAGINE started off with the Executive Team Panel Discussion. In the spirit of absolute transparency and openness, Dealers had the floor to ask the panel anything and everything weighing on their minds.

Some topics which were discussed included:

• Product backorders
• E-commerce and selling via Amazon
• Subscription services
• The production print market
• Recruitment

Education Tracks

We had the pleasure of welcoming a whole range of guest speakers from beyond the printing industry to give a masterclass on subjects ranging from digital marketing and recruitment to the Cloud and eCommerce.

The following Education Tracks took place across REIMAGINE:

• Are You Betting Your Company on Customers Not Adopting E-Commerce? It’s Not Too Late to Change Your Bet. Norman McConkey & Caleb Huard, MPS Toolbox
• Attract, Grow, and Retain Quality Sales Talent in the New Normal. Larry Coco, Coco Training & Coaching, LLC
• How To Increase Sales With Effective Digital Marketing. Alberto Fernandez, Annie Bonnie
• How A Dealer Recovers From Major Market Disruptions. Brad Wolf, Great America Leasing (GAL).
• The Rise of the Subscription Economy. Jodi Krawitt, Zuora US.
• It’s Time to Get Your Head In ”The Cloud”! Why Cloud Hosting Is No Longer Optional. Aaron Fryzek, DataBank.

The sessions proved to be a hugely productive experience for our Dealers, giving them invaluable insights by proven experts in areas that could help add tremendous value to their business.

Technology Fair

Kyocera’s Technology Fair at REIMAGINE brought together the very best of Kyocera printing devices and software solutions under one roof. It proved to be the perfect platform to showcase the outstanding capabilities of our debut inkjet production printer, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c, as well debuting our two new debut A4 devices: the MA2000W and PA2000W.

The Technology Fair was home to zones dedicated to office technology, production print, software and solutions, as well as our Elevate Partner Program. Dealers and Analysts also had the chance to interact with our numerous venders and partners which were stationed across the fair.

Right at the heart of the action was the Platinum Lounge, an area for Platinum Dealers to catch up with friends and colleagues over a coffee. It was great to see so many Dealers reunited after so much time apart.

But it wasn’t just all hard work!

REIMAGINE will be an event that lives long in the memory, and after the action-packed day sessions there was even more fun to be had. Everyone made sure to take the time to enjoy their visit to San Antonio with friends old and new.

Day 1: Welcome Reception

After an intense opening day, guests were treated to a full buffet dinner and live music – the perfect way to unwind!

Day 2: The Rodeo

On the final evening of REIMAGINE, guests were treated to a taste of Texas at Knibbe Ranch. There was live music, amazing BBQ, and to round things off: a spectacular rodeo! For many, it was a first visit to the Lone Star State and the evening at the ranch was the ideal way to get a real taste of Texas.
