Fespa managing director Frazer Chesterman said: "ESF and Fespa recognise the increasing convergence between the print and sign industries, which has become more apparent in today's challenging climate. ?Companies can no longer solely concentrate on their primary activities; they need to look at complementary services and products that enable them to provide complete and innovative solutions for clients. ?ESF's knowledge of the sign industry, teamed with Fespa's expertise in running successful high quality summits for the imaging industry, means the European Sign Summit is set to be an imperative event for the road to recovery and future success."
The European Sign Summit sessions will be followed by a panel discussion inviting interaction between delegates and speakers, and will conclude with an opportunity for delegates to network informally over drinks. ?The event will be conducted in English, with simultaneous translation available by advance request into French, German, Italian and Spanish.
