The first FESPA Africa event will take place from July 2nd to 4th 2014 at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa
The project is a joint venture with South African event organiser, Practical Publishing. Headed by Charnia Yapp, the company also runs the Sign Africa and Visual Communications Africa shows, which will be amalgamated into the FESPA event.
Africa is a vital and exciting growth region, and in Practical Publishing, we have an experienced partner to help us establish the FESPA brand here”
FESPA managing director Neil Felton comments: “With the launch of FESPA Africa, we’re adding another piece to FESPA’s global event jigsaw. Africa is a vital and exciting growth region, and in Practical Publishing, we have an experienced partner to help us establish the FESPA brand here with the right local insights and contacts.
“By combining these two established events, we’ll aim to bring together the whole wide-format print supply chain (the printers themselves and the specifiers of visual communications) behind the FESPA Africa brand.”
