Fespa’s next show selling out

Fespa Asia, which organisers call the region’s largest and most comprehensive event for digital wide format, screen and textile printing, takes place at the BITEC exhibition centre, Bangkok, Thailand from February 15-.
 
The show will host more than 100 exhibiting companies including the likes of EFI Reggiani, HP, KIP, Kornit Digital, Mimaki, Roland and Zünd. To date, international companies have taken up three quarters of the available space.
 
Nine national associations support the event including Australia’s SGIAA. They continue to adv ocate members attending the show. Bill Porteous, from SGIAA, says, “Consider the possibilities of knowing what is going on in your immediate market sector, of looking at products and services that have not reached your country yet, of networking with like-minded peers in a not so distant market. And, consider the possibilities of the likely expansion of your market. This is what Fespa Asia will offer in Bangkok.”
 
Roz McGuinness, Fespa divisional director, says, “We’re delighted to have such strong engagement from so many major international companies for Fespa Asia 2017 and such resounding endorsement from the regional associations. What is clear is that, while printers across Asia have access to small, local events, they are looking to Fespa to deliver a stand-out regional event where they can meet the leading international vendors under one roof, network with prominent PSPs from across the region and access high quality educational content that brings together the deepest sector expertise from around the world.”
 
Fespa Asia 2017 will include a free seminar programme featuring notable speakers from Asia and beyond. Seminar sessions are free to attend.
 
Bangkok has a population of 14 million in its metropolitan area, while the AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) represents a combined population of almost 700 million. In 2014, countries in AEC comprised the third largest economy in Asia and the seventh largest in the world.
