As all stage set to unveil FESPA 2013, the expo is well on track to be the biggest FESPA event yet. Committed space already takes 2013 floor plan area to just under 30000sqm, equalling the final footprint of FESPA 2010 in Munich three years ago. The South Hall of the ExCeL exhibition centre, which has a 100 percent digital focus, is now sold out, and demand for remaining space in the mixed North Hall is high. Many digital exhibitors have increased their stand space compared with 2010.
Top 10 exhibitors in this year’s edition are Hewlett Packard (HP), Canon (incorporating Océ), AGFA, Durst, EFI, FIJIFILM, Orafol, Mimaki, Kornit and M&R. And the 10 largest stands at the expo will collectively occupy 15.5 percent more stand space than the top ten in 2010, indicating the growing investment being made by major suppliers in their presence at FESPA. The leading players have all chosen FESPA in London as a key platform to showcase their latest wide format innovations to FESPA’s international decision-maker audience.
