In testimony to the growing wide format market, FESPA Digital 2011 is fully sold out.
18000 sq/m (net) (36,000 sq/m gross) of available exhibition space allocated to around 370 exhibitors has been filled with a waiting list of hopefull exhibitors.
The size and scope of this year's event make it an even more comprehensive showcase of wide format printing than the three dedicated digital halls at last year's main FESPA exhibition in Munich, adding up to the largest focused digital wide-format printing event ever to take place in Europe.
Printers across Europe have been enthusiastically pre-registering for the event via the event Website at: www.fespadigital.com (or click on the button to the left of this page), with close to 5000 individuals registered so far, and 50 new registrations received every day since the beginning of March 2011.
This year's show is the fourth in the Digital series which was hosted in Amsterdam in 2006 and 2009, and in Geneva in 2008. The move to Hamburg for 2011 will appeal to printers from all over Europe, but the location is proving particularly attractive to delegates from northern Germany, Benelux, Scandinavia, the Baltic States and eastern Europe, in particular Poland.
Managing director of FESPA events Frazer Chesterman observed, ‘When we last staged FESPA Digital in 2009, our industry was in the throes of a deep recession, yet the show still attracted 9,682 digital print 'Revolutionaries'. Times change, our community is forging ahead with increasing optimism, and the talk now is of 'Evolution', which we at FESPA define as 'growth through adaptation'. At this year's event, we'll be concentrating on the characteristics that print service providers need to adopt in order to survive and thrive in this changed business landscape.’
