FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo, Personalisation Experience and the inaugural Sportswear Pro will take place from 19-22 March 2024 at the RAI Exhibition Centre in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. These parallel events will showcase a wealth of solutions for specialty printing, signage, personalisation and sportswear and leisurewear production.
Michael Ryan, Director of FESPA Global Print Expo, explains: “Our new show slogans for 2024 are designed to reflect the natural evolution since last year’s events, where we encouraged visitors to discover ‘New Perspectives’. These show slogans are ‘Opportunities, Uncovered’ for FESPA Global Print Expo, ‘Opportunities, Illuminated’ for European Sign Expo, ‘Opportunities, Created’ for Sportswear Pro and ‘Opportunities, Reimagined’ for the Personalisation Experience. They are designed to illustrate that there is always something new to discover and that the areas in which our visitors do business are often bigger than they think.“
“In our ever-evolving specialist printing industry, the possibilities are endless. With this in mind, we are delighted that a number of suppliers will be exhibiting their latest innovative solutions in Amsterdam and presenting new growth opportunities to our global community,” he continues.
Visitors to FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo, Personalisation Experience and Sportswear Pro 2024 will be able to marvel at a host of new technologies, media and consumables from AGFA, Antalis, DGI/d.gen, EFI, Elitron, Kongsberg, LIYU, Mimaki, Orafol, Sun Chemical and swissQprint, among others, who have already confirmed their participation.

In addition to the events, there will again be a seminar and conference programme in 2024.

In their presentations on 20 March 2024, speakers will explain how personalisation can be used to attract and retain new customers. They will present current trends on customisation and the role of AI in personalisation. In line with Sportswear Pro, the focus of the second day of the conference (21 March 2024) will be on the possibilities in the production and finishing of sportswear and leisurewear. The latest trends, recent innovations and ecological benefits of “Circular Design” will be presented.
