FESPA 2020 has been postponed

Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has forced the organisers of FESPA 2020 to postpone the exhibition.

FESPA Global Print Expo, the European Sign Expo and the newly launched Sportswear Pro were due to take place later this month (March 24 to 27) in Madrid.

Based on feedback from exhibitors, FESPA will now seek to reschedule the events for a later date, precise timing and venue still to be determined based on venue availability.

FESPA CEO, Neil Felton, said: “Until this week, our actions with regard to COVID-19 – including the pre-emptive action taken in February regarding exhibiting companies from China – have been informed by guidance from the relevant international and national authorities, with the primary objective of safeguarding the health and wellbeing of exhibitors and visitors.

“However, in light of the recent spread of the virus in specific areas of mainland Europe, we have consulted with our stakeholders and have concluded that it is in the best interests of our community to defer the events to a later date.”

FESPA will provide an update regarding revised event dates in due course.
