FESPA Global Print Expo has set out its 2024 strapline and highlighted what we can expect from the event
Taking place at the earlier date of March 19th – 22nd in Amsterdam next year, the strapline of FESPA Global Print Expo has been revealed as ‘Opportunities, Revealed’.
The strapline for the co-located European Sign Expo will be ‘Opportunities, Illuminated’, the strapline for the inaugural Sportswear Pro will be ‘Opportunities, Created’, and finally the strapline for the Personalisation Experience will be ‘Opportunities, Reimagined’.
These co-located events promise to showcase a range of solutions for specialty print, sign-making, personalisation, and sports and leisure garment production.
The events will be held in the RAI Exhibition Centre, Amsterdam with the venue described as a popular one amongst both FESPA visitors and exhibitors having hosted the event in 2006, 2009, 2016, and 2021.
“This year, we’re introducing a set of new event straplines which represent a natural progression from the 2023 events where we encouraged visitors to discover ‘New Perspectives’,” says Michael Ryan, head of FESPA Global Print Expo.
“The FESPA 2024 straplines highlight how there’s always something new to learn and how the sectors that our visitors are active in are often broader than they realise. In our constantly evolving specialty print industry, the possibilities and opportunities are endless and we’re excited to welcome an array of suppliers to highlight their latest, innovative solutions.”
Exhibitors at the 2024 event will include AGFA, Antalis, DGI/d.gen, EFI, Elitron, Kongsberg, LIYU, Mimaki, swissQprint, and more. Textile suppliers will include MHM, Monti Antonio, and MS printing/JK Group, with two new embroidery suppliers confirming for the first time: Tajima and Ricoma.
Alongside the exhibitor halls, the events will play host to a full educational conference with the first day (March 20th) dedicated to Personalisation Experience and the second day (March 21st) running in line with the inaugural Sportswear Pro. The latter will focus on opportunities within sports and leisure garment production and look at the latest trends and innovations.
Other in-show features will include a Personalise Make Wear feature as part of Personalisation Experience and Sportswear Pro which will showcase a range of personalised printed sportswear and athleisure. Visitors will be able to attend expert-guided end-to-end production tours of the latest technologies as well as listen in on fireside chats.
The popular Sustainability Spotlight will return, offering visitors the opportunity to learn about sustainable material alternatives and ways to improve environmental credentials.
Another popular and well-attended area of the event will be the World Wrap Masters competition which will take place over the first two days (March 19th – 20th) and will see European vehicle wrappers compete for the title of Wrap Master Europe 2024. The series final will see regional wrap masters go head to head for the title of World Wrap Master 2024.
