Until 17 May visitors can register for their free entrance pass to Fespa 2015, as well as three other events; European Sign Expo, Fespa Fabric 2015 and Printeriors 2015, by visiting www.fespa2015.com.
520 global exhibitors have already confirmed to attend the exhibition and organisers are confident that the total figure will exceed 700. 25,000 visitors are also expected to attend Fespa’s flagship show.
The event is already set to occupy just shy of 66,000sqm including European Sign Expo, making it 2,500sqm larger than 2013’s Fespa London on paper.
However, in real terms it is set to be larger due to certain show features being moved into a covered boulevard next to the halls, allowing extra space for exhibitor presence.
Like London, Cologne will feature three key zones: Fespa Screen, Fespa Digital and Fespa Fabric. The theme for the event will be ‘Discover your universe of print’ featuring space exploration imagery.
The show will feature a range of educational content, which is still to be finalised, and a new feature aimed at the industrial decoration sector, specifically combining print with interior design. The feature will take the shape of a one-day conference for the printed interior market.
Fespa marketing manager Lynda Sutton said: “The print universe is expanding; with every passing day more technologies, applications or solutions are being developed. Fespa 2015 creates a platform for PSPs to explore a universe of print.
“As a recognised body for our industry, the feedback we’re receiving from our exhibitors and key stakeholders is about interior design – with the massive advantages into printed personalised interior decoration, printed electrics and also ceramics – which again is also being driven by the demands from the interiors market.
“Fespa is increasingly being recognised as one of the world’s leading print exhibitions showcasing innovation and providing opportunities to explore, which is driven by our educational feature content, focused on how PSPs can expand their businesses rather than about the bottom line.”
