In the digital print industry, one truth has never changed: people need people.

That’s the heartbeat of Dscoop — a global ecosystem where printers, marketers, operations pros, supply chain leaders and tech innovators share experiences. It’s a space where peers in similar roles learn from one another, challenge one another and often become each other’s biggest supporters.

In the premiere of the Dscoop Roundtable discussion series, five leaders from across the globe reflect on how the Dscoop community has grown, connected and evolved over two decades. From shared business wins to personal growth moments, the conversation covers the impact of collaboration and the powerful sense of belonging that keeps Dscoopers engaged year after year.

The video is filled with heartfelt moments about the value of togetherness within Dscoop. Yukinori Okamoto, CEO of goof inc. and a long-time contributor and volunteer leader in the Dscoop community, recalled a 2018 Dscoop meeting in Korea that brought together digital printing pros from 40 different countries. "We learned that print is all universal. The Internet is all borderless," Yuki said. "Dscoop became the connector you didn't know you needed."

Stay tuned for more Roundtable conversations, featuring Dscoopers talking together about leadership, marketing moves, new-business development, engaging as current students and reporting on the industry.
