FESPA 2015, which was held recently from May 18-22, 2015 at Cologne drew its largest total audience ever, with 43775 visits over the five days of the show, an increase of 17 percent compared with the previous flagship edition of the event in London in 2013. The combined event attracted 23137 individual (unique) visitors, with the majority electing to stay at the show for more than one day, resulting in the highest ever revisit rate for any FESPA event. This reflects the increased scope of FESPA’s Global Expo in terms of exhibiting companies and educational content, which motivated visitors to extend their visit beyond one day to take in all the product innovations and educational opportunities.
The speciality print mega-event played host to more than 750 exhibitors under four distinct event brands: FESPA 2015 (screen, digital and textile printing), FESPA Fabric (garment printing and decoration), European Sign Expo (non-printed signage) and Printeriors (printed interior décor). FESPA 2015 also offered visitors an Educational Hub, Sign Hub, Wrap Cup Masters vehicle wrapping area, 3D and Industrial Print Showcases, a gallery dedicated to FESPA Awards entries, and the new Printeriors conference featuring speakers from the interior design and architectural communities.
