Fespa UK and ISA UK have joined forces to create an event that will look at ways businesses in the visual communications arena can push the materials, machines, and technology they use to the limits, to produce the most powerful visual displays possible. The event will be held at Hogarths in Sollihul on Wednesday 6 September.
The evening will start with drinks reception held in a gallery of design and concepts, where the printers and sign makers who created the projects will be on hand to discuss how the pieces were created. Each space will be supported by a key supplier, who will also be there to answer questions about the machine, substrate or other technology that went into making the project possible. There will be dinner followed by a keynote speaker.
Fespa UK Association MD Suzi Ward said: “Being able to work with the ISA UK and bring our two UK communities together, feels like a huge step forward for both print and signage. What makes it even better is that as we are both trade associations all the proceeds will be invested back into the industry through projects like the Next Generation initiative and the waste management project.”
Craig Jones, CEO, International Sign Association UK, added: “Events that create a space for business owners to share ideas and openly talk about what’s works for them are few and far between. As a trade body we are here as a conduit to share best practice wherever we can, coming together with likeminded trades and associations is something that benefits the sector and the trade as a whole. Having the opportunity to work with Fespa UK and talk with their board really does just highlight how similar our core values are as trade associations and it’s a pleasure to be able to give something back to the industry we all care deeply about.”
