SINGAPORE – Peripatetic printing and graphics expo FESPA will host its 2011 edition at Singapore’s Suntec exhibition centre.
The three-day FESPA Asia 2011 exhibition, running from 26 to 28 October, will be followed by a FESPA Asia Golf Day to add a sporting element of delegate networking.
FESPA sales and marketing director Marcus Timson says Singapore has “thriving retail and leisure sectors driving advanced use of advertising and point-of-sale materials, making it a benchmark for innovative large-format graphics”.
Previous FESPA events in Asia include three successive FESPA India shows and the FESPA Asia-Pacific 2008 exhibition in Thailand.
Outgoing FESPA president Anders Nilsson, who is poised to assume the role of FESPA Asia Ambassador, says the dynamic Asian market “represents a tremendous opportunity for FESPA”. In his new position, Nilsson will build on relationships with regional associate members, vendors and other stakeholders. “They look to us to create pan-regional events that offer international perspectives, access to market leading suppliers, and educational programmes that meet their specific needs as fast-growing emerging markets,” he said.
Discussions with exhibitors will begin at FESPA 2010, and FESPA will launch an integrated exhibitor and visitor marketing campaign for FESPA Asia 2011 in Autumn 2010, incorporating a FESPA Asia Summit event in Spring 2011.
