FESPA empowers the print industry to navigate change through innovation and knowledge sharing. FESPA’s website, content hubs, and Club FESPA offer insights on topics like personalisation, sustainability, and AI. FESPA also supports local associations with training and events, ensuring access to the latest trends and solutions for the evolving print landscape.
As the print industry experiences this period of continuous change, due to ongoing digitisation, escalating sustainability demands and evolving market needs, we are ensuring that our community – from small businesses to large printing enterprises – has access to the latest innovations and knowledge to optimise their operations and access emerging commercial opportunities.

The FESPA website offers a variety of knowledge-sharing and educational resources designed for professionals operating in the screen, signage, wide format and textile printing industries. These include articles and insights from industry experts, including FESPA Textile Ambassador Debbie McKeegan, specialist journalists Nessan Cleary, Sonja Angerer, Rob Fletcher and James Gatica Matheson, as well as speakers from FESPA’s global events.
Topical content hubs
We have curated several dedicated online content hubs focused on speciality areas of print that businesses may wish to explore, expand into and capitalise on – such as Personalisation Experience (customisation), Printeriors (interior décor) and Sustainability Spotlight (guiding printers on their sustainable development journey).
Club FESPA exclusive content
Our member-only Club FESPA online platform offers insightful articles, how-to guides, business advice and updates on future industry trends. Examples of Club FESPA content include: ‘How to get certified without greenwashing’; ‘How to avoid carbon offsetting and stay sustainable’; ‘Innovation in textile printing’ and ‘Seven ways AI will transform the printing industry’.
Sustainability
Our Sustainability Spotlight online hub provides print businesses with guidance on how to operate in a more energy efficient and sustainable manner, work with stakeholders to reduce negative environmental impacts across supply chains and reduce their carbon footprint. Key focus areas include: printing with green materials and inks; supporting the circular economy; updates on regulations; energy reduction and greener textile printing. In addition, in 2024, we launched expert-authored guides on navigating sustainability legislation, titled: ‘Calculating Carbon’; ‘Sustainable Certification Scheme Guide’ and ‘Glossary of Terms’.
We also publish a series of Sustainability Spotlight videos, led by our Head of Associations & Technical Lead, Graeme Richardson- Locke, which highlight expert advice from FESPA partners. Videos include: Ali Khalili, CEO of Re-board, speaking about why decarbonisation is important to the industry; Marshall Atkinson from Atkinson Consulting outlining top sustainability myths in the decorated apparel industry; and consultant Steve Lister discussing the importance of creating a circular design process.
Local resources
In addition to the information and guidance we share online, we provide our global Associations with resources that enable them to educate their members via regular training programmes, networking events, technical resources tailored to their members’ needs, and more. They also create platforms for discussions at a local level. These initiatives ensure that professionals operating in the speciality print sector can remain knowledgeable, have access to the latest trends, be mindful of current challenges, and the solutions and resources to overcome them.
All of our global exhibitions feature an educational programme addressing specific growth opportunities for print and signage businesses. For example, our Personalisation Experience conference programme runs alongside the exhibition of the same name. Speaker sessions at the 2025 Personalisation Experience Conference will cover topics such as: AI, mass customisation and data-driven marketing. At FESPA Middle East 2025, the conference programme included insightful sessions on personalisation, sustainability, and new technology and future visions. Educational demos are also provided at our events, for example, at the World Wrap Masters
competition for vehicle wrapping.
