The additional sessions during the exhibition week will cover the signage and the corrugated industry in Southeast Asia, as well as business-focused seminars and workshops.

Roz Guarnori, exhibitions director FESPA, said, “Our conferences are an important part of any FESPA event. The seminars at our past events in Asia have proven extremely popular with the regional audience of printers and sign-makers, who are continually looking to increase their technical and commercial knowledge. With seminars presented by both local and international speakers, visitors will get a feel for both local and global trends in the industry.”
