Fespa has confirmed that its flagship event, the Global Print Expo, will return to Ifema in Madrid from 6 – 8 October 2020.

The original event, along with the co-located European Sign Expo and Sportswear Pro was originally scheduled to take place from 24 – 27 March, but was postponed due to the impact of the Coronavirus outbreak.

‘Despite the ongoing impact that the coronavirus is having on the speciality print sector, we’ve been overwhelmed by the strong demand from our global community for a FESPA platform in 2020,’ said CEO Neil Felton. ‘Therefore, we are extremely pleased to confirm that our shows will be going ahead on these re-scheduled dates and we’re very grateful to Ifema team, who have been fully supportive of our decision under the extraordinary circumstances.

‘Throughout this difficult time, we remain in close dialogue and consultation with our exhibitors to establish how Fespa is able to best support their 2020 product launches, engage with existing customers and nurture new prospects in the speciality print sector to fuel their future growth. We remain confident in the unique value of Fespa Global Print Expo for our specific stakeholder community.’
