FESPA Global Print Expo (6-9 May 2025, Messe Berlin) and the parallel events European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience await industry visionaries with a variety of products and solutions for speciality print, signmaking and personalisation.
Michael Ryan, Director of FESPA Global Print Expo, explains: ‘We are very much looking forward to Berlin. The theme of the event is Where Visionaries Meet. It highlights FESPA’s forward-thinking community of thought leaders, including visitors, exhibitors, award winners and association leaders. Furthermore, the new theme emphasises the function of our trade shows as a forum where visionaries can explore new opportunities and make ground-breaking decisions for their businesses.’ He adds: ‘In an industry like ours, which is constantly evolving, you always have to look ahead. How can we ensure a sustainable future? What impact will AI have on the sector? There are countless opportunities and we will be presenting these at our 2025 events.’
