Kennesaw, Ga. - For the tenth time the Print Media Academy (PMA) of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG will host the well established Summer University in Heidelberg. International managers from the print media industry are invited to participate in a five-day intensive training in Heidelberg. The training will take place from July 13- 17, 2009 and is aimed at providing participants with concrete strategy and business plans for their businesses as well as the opportunity to share experiences and swap success strategies.

"In today's highly competitive and changing markets, it is getting more and more important to keep print shop owners up-to-date with the latest developments and business strategies," says Bernd Schopp, Head of the Print Media Academy. The PMA Summer University gives managers the chance to take part in a compact training course that will enable them to prepare their companies to face future challenges.

This year's Summer University will focus on transferring practical know-how.
