While the full details of these will be revealed a little closer to the show later this year, Davies offers an insight into what visitors can expect to see inside the hall. “We are going to be running a series of live demonstrations and workshops to offer even more value to visitors,” Davies reveals, continuing: “All attendees will have free access to several in-show areas, each designed to deliver valuable insight into core market sectors and important talking points. “Live demos of sign-making techniques such as vehicle wrapping and architectural wrapping will allow visitors to view experts in action and pick up hints about the best techniques for this Kneale speaks openly about the core benefits of this approach: “The Sign Show is uniquely placed. Sitting alongside The Print Show, it allows us to not only present our latest Graphtec cutters, but also WID lasers, and the latest printers from Mutoh. “As a new distributor for Mutoh products, we really need a shop window to showcase the brand. Having The Sign Show in September removes the event from the usual cluster of trade shows traditionally happening in the spring. “The sign industry and printing industries are rapidly coming together. For a company like Graphtec GB, our product range spans both print and sign, so it is a perfect match for us to demonstrate to a mixed audience what we are really all about.” Enjoy the Experience While the exhibitors and their many innovative solutions will be the main reason for people to attend The Sign Show later this year, there will be so much more for them to explore in Hall 3 of the NEC. “We are all about creating an event that will allow visitors to take away with them valuable knowledge to ensure their business continues to succeed,” event director Davies explains, continuing: “On top of this, we want The Sign Show to be a memorable experience for all those type of work. Meanwhile, we will also be paying tribute to the foundations of signage, with dedicated areas for live demos of classic neon and traditional sign-making, celebrating the continuation of these crafts. “In addition to this, we will have expertled sessions on business advice and diversification, as well as dedicated workshops for certain areas of sign-making, offering visitors the chance to gain valuable knowledge from some of the leading minds in the industry.” To put it simply, there is plenty to get excited about for The Sign Show this year. While it is a first-year event, there is certainly demand for an exhibition that not only allows visitors to learn about the latest solutions in sign-making, but to also experience certain crafts up close and connect with peers from all areas of the sign and display sectors. Roll on September! The Sign Show aims to create a place for visitors to learn and expand ideas ▲ Visitors can view live demonstrations of vehicle wrapping at this year’s show THE SIGN SHOW 2025
