Fespa head of Global Print Expo, Michael Ryan said: “We’re delighted to have fixed dates for our next two flagship events in Europe, and to be returning to excellent venues which are tried and tested for our exhibitors and visitors,” said Fespa head of Global Print Expo, Michael Ryan. “Both Messe Munich and RAI Amsterdam offer world-class exhibition facilities that are appreciated by our suppliers and contractors, and have the advantage of familiarity for many returning exhibitors. For visitors, these European capitals are brilliantly located for travel by air, rail and road, and there’s a great range of accommodation and hospitality options to make a visit affordable and enjoyable.”
