Whilst at the event, visitors will have the opportunity to gain ‘New Perspectives’ by seeing and feeling the applications being demonstrated, experiencing technology running at full speed as it would on a production floor, as well as networking and meeting new partners and industry friends.

The show itself covers a range of areas of the industry from digital printing and textile, to screen printing. Digital printing continues to be a fast growing area of the market with exhibitors demonstrating the latest technologies in wide-format digital printing, interior décor solutions, sign and graphics, event branding, and so on. For the textile sector, FESPA Global Print Expo 2023 will demonstrate live the capabilities of areas such as customised on-demand production and applications such as clothing and fashion, interiors, and also highlight the importance of sustainability in this sector. In terms of who the show is angled at, the answer is anyone and everyone. From established print and sign companies to students and trainees, the show will have something for CEOs or apprentices, graphic designers or sign installers, T-shirt printers or superwide-format graphic producers. Michael Ryan, head of FESPA Global Print Expo, explains how throughout the show halls the event will highlight how visitors can capitalise on key trends including automation, personalisation, and sustainability as well as address challenges such as rising costs and supply chain issues.
