Following on from the recently-held FESPA Melbourne BBQ, members of Australia’s wide format printing industry gathered yesterday at the Sydney Rowing Club in Abbotsford for the FESPA Sydney Social.
Attendees were welcomed by FESPA Australia president Nigel Davies, who thanked members and sponsors of the event.
Sponsors included: Durst Oceania, Ball & Doggett, Coritex, Cactus Imaging, Easy Signs, Mimaki Australia, Orafol Australia, printIQ, and Spicers Australia.
Davies spoke about some of FESPA Australia’s significant achievements and the launch of an upcoming program that supports new people in the industry.
“My proudest achievements with FESPA is the Future Leaders Program. We now have 36 people graduating from that program. As we start this year, I want you to think about all the talented mid-career people that you work with that have the talent and potential to go up to the next level,” he said.
“This leadership program is very special and gives these people a unique opportunity.
“A few weeks ago, we received significant funding to start a new program, for people in their 20s, based on the Next Generation initiative – a formula that has proved to be highly successful for FESPA UK. We’re going to have our own slant on that.”
More information on this program will be released in June.
Davies also provided an update on the FESPA Australia event in Berlin during FESPA 2025 (which will take place from 6-9 May), saying it will be held at 2.30pm on Wednesday 7 May.
Davies encouraged everyone to attend FESPA 2025 in Berlin.
