FESPA was established in 1962. As a worldwide association, it offers a platform and community built to support the industry as new technologies evolve, and the print market adapts to global shifts. Its associations provided over 300 events in 37 countries in 2023, with an equally action-packed roadmap for the year ahead. In our latest podcast we deep dive into print, and how in-person events alongside their online resource Fespa.com both inspire and offer a unique opportunity for knowledge transfer and networking.
