Fespa 2017 will include a seminar programme which it says will deliver insights and market knowledge across the sector. Visitors can attend free of charge with their Fespa 2017 entry tickets.
The event organisers say bite-sized seminar content will run daily in the one theatre, featuring content created with specialty printers and sign-makers in mind. Focusing on digital, screen and textile print technology, attendees will have access to industry figureheads on hand to provide knowledge and understanding.
Fespa says the sessions throughout the event will include, How to create a great retail experience by Mal MacGowan, Owner, McGowans, Print: A Designers’ creative journey to market by Debbie McKeegan, creative director, Digetex; European Sign Code of Practice by Luc Steegmans, owner, ELBO Signs And Technology – ESF European Sign Federation; and New measurement method of light emission by Ralph Hug, engineer, Swiss Association VWP
Duncan MacOwan, head of events and new media at Fespa says, “This year we have consolidated our educational offering into one main seminar theatre. The theatre, located on the show floor, will address the needs of visitors to Fespa 2017, European Sign Expo and Printeriors. Consolidating the theatres also means that visitors can plan their visit to Fespa efficiently and not worry about missing out on valuable content due to clashes.”
MacOwen says, “Providing a knowledge sharing hub, the Fespa 2017 seminar programme allows industry professionals to gain access to and discuss a mix of technical and business knowledge, ensuring individuals have the tools to take their print business to the next level. Covering topics from direct-to-garment and promotional products to industrial inkjet and business solutions, the programme is tailored to the needs of attendees, delivering insight that can shape and transform industry practice moving forward.”
Elsewhere on the show floor will be the return of the World Wrap Masters Series. During the Wrap Masters final, the wrappers will wrap a speedboat, with the final design being created by the winner of Fespa’s Wrap Design Competition, which is running ahead of the exhibition.
The seminars will kick-off from 2pm on Monday May 8 and run until 1pm on Friday May 12 throughout the entirety of Fespa 2017, also taking place at Messe Hamburg.
