The third annual FESPA Sydney Social attracted a crowd of more than 100 attendees from the printing industry – the largest ever attended event in Sydney for the association.

FESPA Australia is the leading industry association representing specialty print and signage in Australia.

Attendees were welcomed by FESPA Australia president Nigel Davies, who thanked members and sponsors of the event.

Speaking to Sprinter, Davies said this year’s Sydney Social, which was held at the Sydney Rowing Club in Abbotsford, has been the largest in the event’s three-year history.

“The FESPA Sydney Social started with about 70 people and tonight we’ve had more than 100 attendees, which is a fantastic turnout. The event is only getting bigger year on year, and we’re extremely pleased with the support of the industry, our members, and sponsors.”

Matt Ashman, managing director of Durst Oceania, said he was thrilled to see manufacturers and printers join forces once again in support of the industry.  

“It’s always great to see everyone come together at events such as these to show their support for the industry.”
