Now that FESPA Digital in Europe has closed it’s doors, the FESPA radar now focuses on the next show in their calendar, FESPA Africa, a show that may have appeal to our many South African ex-pats that now contribute extensively to both the Australian and New Zealand printing industry including the wide format sector.
FESPA Africa opens on the 22nd July in Johannesburg and runs for three days. The show targets the whole of the African continent, one of the growth areas of the global printing industry. The show grew form the original Sign Africa which now services the regional hubs of the South African market.
Wide Format Online has a special connection with FESPA Africa and Sign Africa since the crew behind these shows are the South African agents for Wide Format Online and Dyelan Copeland, CEO of the South African operation worked with Wide Format Online publisher Brian Stickland in the 90’s to develop several major magazine titles serving both the South African and African printing and sign industries.
FESPA Africa is a major show in the Global FESPA calendar and is a major attraction for all African printers in addition to the many South African ex pats that now reside in the ANZ region and elsewhere.
Several leading manufacturers are planning global launches at the upcoming show and Wide Format Online will be the first to bring you news of those innovations that will surely impact our own industry.
