The Amsterdam RAI is a favourite venue for FESPA visitors and exhibitors and has already hosted successful FESPA exhibitions in 2006, 2009, 2016 and 2021. Amsterdam Schipol Airport offers direct flights to more than 310 destinations, and the city offers affordable public transport and accommodation.
Michael Ryan, Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, explains: “This year we are introducing a number of new event taglines that are a natural progression from the 2023 events, where we encouraged visitors to discover ‘New Perspectives’. The FESPA 2024 taglines – ‘Opportunities, Revealed’ at FESPA Global Print Expo, ‘Opportunities, Illuminated’ at European Sign Expo, ‘Opportunities, Created’ at Sportswear Pro and ‘Opportunities, Reimagined’ at the Personalisation Experience – illustrate that there is always something new to learn and that the sectors our visitors work in are often broader than they realise.” Ryan continues: “In our ever-evolving speciality print industry, the possibilities and opportunities are endless and we look forward to welcoming a range of suppliers to showcase their latest innovative solutions. We look forward to presenting new growth opportunities to our global community in Amsterdam.“
