It will take place at the Birmingham NEC from 20-22 May 2003, just one week after Northprint and six weeks after Print UK, and will be co-located with Sign UK.

Exhibitions director Catherine Iredale said: We are offering a unique opportunity for manufacturers and distributors of a variety of digital equipment to meet people who can and do buy.

FHG expects the show to attract several thousand visitors in its own right,
but will also be counting on the crossover of Sign UKs visitors, who, according to Iredale, are investing heavily in digital technology.

The kind of people we will be attracting will essentially be asset managers, IT directors and marketing professionals right through to photolabs, repro houses and sign makers, said Iredale.

But news of the exhibition has yet to filter through to suppliers, with companies like Creo and Encad unaware of its existence.
