Dscoop, the global and user-driven community of HP printers, converters and partners in the print industry, has announced a new keynote speaker for Edge Long Beach and reported a significant level of partner interest for the annual event, coming up May 14-17, 2025. Dscoop has grown to include more than 20,000 community members worldwide. Members represent the entire spectrum of the print industry, and Edge is the community’s flagship in-person annual event.

Author and global business expert Erin Meyer is set to captivate attendees at Edge Long Beach with her transformative insights into leadership, culture, and collaboration.

Known for her books “The Culture Map” and “No Rules Rules,” Meyer will share how unconventional principles can create faster, flexible, innovative teams. Drawing from Netflix’s game-changing work culture, her keynote will guide attendees on how to empower employees, foster creativity and rethink traditional business models – lessons everyone can apply to their own organizations.

“Erin Meyer’s expertise in leadership and cultural dynamics aligns perfectly with Dscoop’s mission of innovation and collaboration,” says Dscoop executive director Peter van Teeseling. “Our world is increasingly connected, and her keynote will give our community tools to transform their teams and drive success.”

Meyer joins skateboard legend Tony Hawk, investor extraordinaire Daymond John, and HP Inc. executive Antonio Lucio as keynote speakers. Together, they’re part of a lineup designed to energize, support, and educate attendees to discover new opportunities to thrive in the digital print space.

The Solutions Showcase at Edge Long Beach has already reached record levels of partner interest five months out, with spaces filling quickly, Dscoop reports.

Dscoop’s year-round partners play a critical role in educating printers and converters, and collaborating to solve challenges and seize opportunities. They’re already preparing to bring new innovations, equipment, software, and ideas to the event’s education and exhibit space, where attendees will see live demonstrations of presses, automation tools, and applications that will shape the industry’s future.

“We’re extremely excited, and we’re already having fun internal discussions about how to approach the event’s ‘The Next Wave’ theme,” comments Gavin Rittmeyer, VP of sales and marketing at Martin Automatic, based in Rockford, IL, USA. “We’re looking forward to having close, meaningful conversations with customers and prospects.”
