From 6-9 May 2025, at the Messe Berlin, Germany, Fespa Global Print Expo and its co-located events, European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience, will become the ideal meeting places for people to meet and discover a wealth of products and solutions for use in speciality print, signage and personalisation.
As Fespa marks its return to Berlin for the first time in three years, it looks forward to welcoming its global exhibitor and visitor bases, many of whom are familiar with the host city. The Messe Berlin has been a trade show venue for over two hundred years and the city itself is well-known for its history, as well as its trusted connections and established speciality print market.
Michael Ryan, head of Fespa Global Print Expo, said, “We’re thrilled to be back in Berlin this year with our new strapline: ‘Where Visionaries Meet’. This year’s message shines the spotlight on our futuristic and forward-thinking Fespa community, including our visitors, exhibitors, award winners, association heads and more. It also highlights that our events serve as a meeting point for these visionaries, empowering them to discover new opportunities and make impactful decisions for the future of their business.”
He added: “In an ever-evolving industry like ours, it is vital that we are consistently looking forward. How can we guarantee a sustainable future? How is AI impacting the sector? The possibilities for our community are endless and we look forward to highlighting them at our 2025 events. Fespa, as an organisation, is delighted to welcome visionaries from our community to the Messe Berlin in May to not only discover the range of solutions being displayed, but to share their thoughts on what the future holds too.”
