FESPA Eurasia 2017 exhibitors increase stand space following successful 2016 event

FESPA Eurasia 2017 will return to the CNR Expo in Istanbul, Turkey, from December 7 to 10 for its fifth edition.

Over the past five years FESPA Eurasia has grown its visitor audience by 18%, confirming it as a leading event for the wide format printing and garment decoration markets in the Eurasia region.

FESPA Eurasia 2016 attracted 8,232 individual visitors, with total attendance over the four days reaching 9,774 visits. Based on their successful participation in 2016, 10% of exhibitors have increased their stand space for the 2017 event.

The 2016 exhibition also proved to be an active buying event. 44% of visitors were final decision makers and 81% were involved in the decision-making process with a collective budget of €1.6billion.

Michael Ryan, group exhibition manager, FESPA, said: “The increase in stand space that we’re seeing for this year’s show emphasises exhibitors’ high regard for the FESPA Eurasia event, not only due to the number of visitors, but their seniority and purchasing authority. Receiving international trade fair status from TOBB recognises that FESPA Eurasia is transforming from a regional to an international exhibition, with many visitors from beyond Turkey travelling to attend an exhibition of this calibre.”

FESPA Eurasia exhibitors reinforce the importance of the exhibition for the region. Sercan Yağuçmen, regional manager at Roland DG Mid, Europe, said: “We recognise FESPA Eurasia as an important and effective event in the market and a key part of our marketing strategy. The event allows us to display and see different kinds of solutions and innovations, meet with industry professionals and generate new business leads.”
