Fespa’s next pan-Asian event will take place under its new name of Asia Print Expo, from 21 to 23 February 2019 at the Bitec exhibition centre in Bangkok, Thailand.

Fespa says its Asia Print Expo is the region’s leading exhibition for screen, textile and digital wide format print.

Roz Guarnori, exhibitions director, Fespa, comments, “We decided to change the name of the event from Fespa Asia to Asia Print Expo to bring the show’s proposition into the title, so visitors who have no prior knowledge of Fespa instantly know the event’s focus. In Europe and Latin America our events have cemented themselves as market leading events for speciality print and people know what to expect from the Fespa name.

“However, in Asia, Fespa is a relative newcomer, so it’s not immediately obvious what the Fespa name represents. The Asia Print Expo brand, supported by the strapline ‘The World of Print and Beyond’ makes the proposition clear for exhibitors and visitors.”

Features will include the Fespa Wrap Masters, Print Make Wear Asia and a conference programme, with more detailed information to be announced closer to the show.

Fespa Asia in 2018 attracted 4,328 visitors from 66 countries spanning the ASEAN region and beyond, with visitors from Thailand making up 75 per cent of the audience.
