With still four months to go, 83 per cent of floor space has already been allocated, 19 per cent ahead of the 2014 show, at the same time out from the earlier show. According to FESPA, a few exhibitors have even doubled their stand space compared to 2014 and include; Dost Teknik, Inka Teknik, Istanbul Reklam, Pass Reklam, Uras Tekstil and Yontime.

FESPA Group exhibition manager, Michael Ryan said, “It is great to see so many exhibitors increasing their space for this year’s show, as this demonstrates the value they see in FESPA Eurasia.” “Last year, the visitor attendance increased from the inaugural event in 2013, therefore it’s clear that the market is seeing the benefits of a FESPA show in the region,” he observed. “FESPA Eurasia will enable exhibitors and visitors to create real business opportunities, and with the breadth of exhibitors this year, there is certainly something for everyone,” Ryan added. FESPA Eurasia is expected to help graphics professionals in the Eurasia region to see the latest technologies and applications to help develop their business in both the domestic and international markets.
