The second edition of Fespa Eurasia 2014 which took place 4-7 December in Istanbul received fervent interest with over 8,600 unique individuals attending the event. Nearly a 30% increase in comparison to last year.
Fespa Eurasia secured commitment from many local and international brands in the industry; being 20% larger than 2013, the event provided Print Service Providers the chance to explore a comprehensive display of products and services across screenprinting, textile printing and garment decoration, signing and wide format digital printing sectors. Attendees utilised the opportunity to make decisions about their next equipment investments, with almost half of the audience looking to make a purchase within 6 months of the event.

80% of the exhibition audience came from cities across Turkey, achieved by large Chamber of Commerce delegations coming from Adana, Ankara, Antalya, Bursa, Eskişehir, İzmir and Konya. The remaining 20% international visitors came from 78 countries, with top representation from Iran, Greece, Bulgaria, Tunisia and Russia respectively.
Michael Ryan, FESPA Group Exhibition Manager comments: “We are extremely happy with the increased number of unique visitors to the event. But it is not only about quantity; the feedback we have received from exhibitors is that quality has been fantastic too, they have seen business owners and decision-makers from many countries on their stand. Our ability to deliver such an event, with our partner Ared in just two years, shows the commitment we have to the region and the support from the community.”
