FESPA has today announced that its flagship annual FESPA Global Print Expo and European Sign Expo events will return to Messe Berlin, Germany, from Tuesday 6 – Friday 9 May 2025, covering screen, digital and textile printing, signage and visual communications. Confirmed features include Personalise Make Wear, World Wrap Masters, Club FESPA and the return of the bi-annual FESPA Awards.
Michael Ryan, Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, comments, “Following three successful events in the city and positive feedback on the venue from all participants, we are pleased to be returning to Berlin in 2025. We’re looking forward to welcoming exhibitors – as well as visitors – to Messe Berlin next May for an event that I am confident will help printers and signmakers uncover new technologies and solutions to expand their business and unleash their full potential.”
FESPA has previously hosted three events in Berlin, in 2007, 2018 and – more recently – 2022. Feedback following FESPA 2022 reaffirmed that Messe Berlin is a popular venue for both exhibitors and visitors alike. The city offers a continental air and traffic hub, and is easily accessible from all major European and international cities. The newest airport – Berlin Brandenburg – is located just 30 minutes from the Messe Berlin and offers flights to European metropolitan and leisure locations as well as a number of intercontinental destinations.
Further details on FESPA 2025 will be available after FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo, Personalisation Experience and Sportswear Pro 2024 (19 – 22 March 2024, RAI Amsterdam, The Netherlands).
