Pictures here from last week’s annual FESPA BBQ at the Richmond Rowing Club on the Yarra, will soon be complemented by happy snaps from the historic Sydney Rowing Club in Sydney, as the annual social event moves north for a 26th February get-together.
Nigel Davies, President of FESPA Australia, affirms: “These events are hugely important for us and our members and holding them at the start of the year when we have so many exciting things about to launch, is ideal timing from a comms perspective.”
Whilst FESPA Global (19-22 May, Fira de Barcelona) and its associated events are obviously going to be the landmark opportunity in the FESPA calendar for 2026, Davies pointed to a number of local initiatives being launched this year, as he took the opportunity to speak to those FESPA members gathered at the picturesque Richmond Rowing Club, thanking both the sponsors and members their continued support.
The event also celebrated the contributions of outgoing Vice President, David Asker a long-term board member who has been an integral part of building the FESPA Australia Association over the past five years. Davies paid tribute to Asker's leadership and tireless efforts behind the scenes as a key orchestrator of the various FESPA events.
