FESPA Australia has changed the date for its Sydney Social this year from 24 February to 16 March.

FESPA Australia said the decision to change the date was based on securing a suitable venue for the event, which will now take place at the Sydney Rowing Club in Abbotsford.

This inaugural event will allow wide-format printers, sign makers, industrial printers, and garment decorators to network and share their stories while enjoying fine food and wine.

Meanwhile, the FESPA Australia BBQ will be held in Melbourne on 16 February, at the Richmond Rowing Club Boathouse on the south bank of the Yarra River.  

“Our Melbourne BBQ is indeed legendary and has been going for over 30 years and we are proud to keep up the tradition,” FESPA Australia president Nigel Davies said.

“Social relationships build business relationships and so these networking events offer like-minded manufacturers and suppliers to re-kindle and build relationships in a relaxing setting.”

FESPA Australia has also opened up sponsorship opportunities for these events.

“Sponsorship is a partnership. It communicates your commitment to the industry. We are likewise committed to sharing the valuable information you have with our community,” Davies said.

For sponsorship opportunities please contact Jane Docherty at membership@fespaaustralia.org.au.
