The data is in for Fespa 2015, which attracted 23,137 individual visitors. In total there were 43,775 visits, including repeats, over the five days of the show in Cologne in May, an increase of 17% compared with the previous flagship Fespa event in London in 2013.
CEO Neil Felton said: “This was the most colourful, most comprehensive Fespa event we have ever delivered. This record attendance is an unmistakable signal of the renewed energy, optimism and engagement of our global community of suppliers and service providers.
He added: “The fact that so many visitors committed more than a day to the show reflects the vast spectrum of innovative products and applications that were there to be explored, and cements Fespa’s reputation as the most comprehensive global event for wide-format and speciality print.”
