It is not just another exhibition in the calendar: it is a meeting point where manufacturers, printers, installers and brands analyze, compare and make decisions that directly impact their business.

In a context where the sector is rapidly evolving, attending FESPA allows you to understand what is changing and how to adapt with criteria.

What is FESPA and why is it important

FESPA it is an international non-profit federation that brings together associations from the graphic sector worldwide. It was born in 1962 as a technical forum focused on screen printing and has evolved into a global organization that drives the development of specialized printing.

One of its key differentiators is its model “Profit for Purpose” , where the profits generated by its events are reinvested in the industry itself: training, research, development of standards and support for companies in the sector.

This makes FESPA more than just an exhibition organizer. It is an active agent in the market's evolution, connecting professionals, driving innovation, and generating practical knowledge.
