Printing exhibition FESPA has added two further halls to its Excel London edition due to exhibitor demand for extra floor space.
Organiser FESPA claimed 310 exhibitors have already confirmed their bookings for the show from 25 to 29 June 2013. This is nearly double the number of exhibitors compared to the run up to the Munich 2010 show.
The same exhibitors who attended Munich have expanded their space in London by 10 per cent, the organiser claimed, making FESPA 2013 the biggest edition to date.
“Our move to London for 2013 will enable us to make FESPA’s flagship show a truly global event, attracting printers and their customers from every continent,” said FESPA MD Neil Felton.
“More people can reach London from more locations in less time than any other city in the world. With its matchless heritage in print, business, communication and design, it’s the ideal destination for this show.”
The trade event, which embraces screen and textile printing as well as digital wide format, will showcase printed graphics, signage, promotional print, industrial print and garment decoration.
“FESPA 2013 will reflect everything that is trending in screen, digital and textile print, strongly backed by the leading vendors and organisations in the industry,” added Felton.
“We look forward to revealing even more of FESPA’s exciting news over the next few weeks and months including new areas, features and conferences that will run alongside or at the show.”
Four De Boer employees paced the streets of London to raise money for a good cause this month.
The team all completed the MoonWalk London event on 11 May.
Media 10 has claimed the ninth Grand Designs Live, London show had its best ever figures with more than 111,000 visitors (unaudited) across the nine-day event, held 4 to 12 May at Excel.
