Print trade show stalwart Sign and Digital UK will run 27-29 February in 2024, again at the NEC, Birmingham.
Event director, Jenny Matthew, said: “Sign and Digital UK has always been known as a ‘selling’ show, and this year (21-23 March) it certainly earned that label. It felt like the industry was well and truly back and looking as healthy as ever. It is so encouraging for us to see how people respond to Sign and Digital UK. We spent a lot of time throughout the show talking to visitors and exhibitors about how to keep improving the experience, and we have lots of ideas for 2024. I would like to say a big thank you to all the exhibitors, visitors, partners and media supporters who came to the show, and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.”
The Explains Lounge, run in conjunction with the ISA UK trade association, saw more than 30 people presenting or being part of expert panels over the 2023 show. “We had some really interesting sessions this year and this was reflected in the numbers of people coming to see them and also in the questions they asked. I certainly learned a lot, and the feedback I received suggests many others did too,” said Craig Brown, CEO of ISA UK.
Alongside the Explains Lounge was the Sign Surgery, which allowed visitors to spend time with individual members of the panels and the ISA directors to ask questions and receive advice. “As the trade association for the UK sign industry, it was so valuable to be able to spend time with sign-makers from across the country at the show. We had lots of great discussions, and we also did our best to answer questions and explore new ideas and initiatives,” added Brown.
The Hexis Wrap Battle ran throughout the 2023 show too, and was won by Chris Hooper of Wrap Worx. Oli Goodman of Wrap Capital came second and Aleksejs Kosarevs of AKtints came third.
