With the digital version of Drupa just getting underway, the international federation of screen, digital and textile printing professionals (Fespa) has provided some information about the upcoming Fespa Global Print Expo. With the slogan Bringing Colour Back, the exhibition will take place at the RAI exhibition center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from Tuesday, October 12 to Friday, October 15, 2021.
This will be the first Fespa show in Europe since May 2019, after the postponement of the March 2020 and March 2021 editions, due to the restrictive measures caused by the covid-19 pandemic.
Occupying six exhibition halls at the RAI, exhibitors will showcase their latest innovations in screen printing, digital printing, large format printing and textile printing.
European Sign Expo, the European exhibition for non-printed signage and visual communications, will once again be held alongside Fespa Global Print Expo.
Recent research with Fespa visitors reveals a strong appetite for the event, with 73% of respondents viewing trade shows as a key platform for researching and making product purchases.
Neil Felton, CEO of Fespa, states: "Our visitors told us they needed access to product demonstrations and face-to-face meetings with various suppliers to support their recovery. They see Fespa Global Print Expo as a key milestone in their forward planning."
The organizer adds: "Taking into account all the information we currently have, we are relaunching Fespa 2021 this fall and we are confident that we will provide attendees with an event that meets all possible health and safety precautions, as well as their needs for an interactive, multi-sensory Fespa show."
