In light of rapidly evolving situation regarding COVID-19 in Europe and in close dialogue with its national associations and exhibitors, Federation of European Screen Printers Associations (FESPA) has taken decision to postpone FESPA Global Print Expo 2020, European Sign Expo 2020 & Sportswear Pro 2020, scheduled to take place at IFEMA Madrid from March 24-27.

Based on feedback from exhibitors, FESPA will now seek to reschedule the events for a later date, precise timing and venue still to be determined based on venue availability.

“Until this week, our actions with regard to COVID-19 – including the pre-emptive action taken in February regarding exhibiting companies from China – have been informed by guidance from the relevant international and national authorities, with the primary objective of safeguarding the health and wellbeing of exhibitors and visitors. However, in light of the recent spread of the virus in specific areas of mainland Europe, we have consulted with our stakeholders and have concluded that it is in the best interests of our community to defer the events to a later date,” said FESPA CEO Neil Felton.

FESPA will provide an update regarding revised event dates in due course.
