The three Southern European Associations who are members of FESPA today announced the launch of the first Southern European Print Congress. The Congress, which will provide valuable industry knowledge in all aspects of printing, will take place on March 10-11 2015 at the Confortel Barcelona in Spain.

The Congress aims to be a dynamic, international networking arena. The three Associations - FESPA España, FESPA France, and Siotec from Italy - will work together to promote innovation in printing solutions for the communication and industrial markets. Over two half days, delegates will have the chance to hear from top industry experts, meet actors across various printing sectors and learn how to grow their businesses. The networking dinner on the first evening will provide delegates with exclusive access to print manufacturers and suppliers.

"FESPA is very proud to support this landmark printing Congress. It demonstrates how Fespa puts investment into action through its Profit for Purpose initiative. The three Associations organising the Congress have worked together to provide a unique forum for printers to exchange information and knowledge, as well as to learn how to develop their businesses from experts in the field. The collaboration shows how beneficial it is for printers to be a member of their national Association, giving them access to all the opportunities that FESPA offers, including international exhibitions and networking", said Sean Holt, General Secretary of FESPA.

"We are very happy to host this unique Congress which will put together the best case histories in Southern Europe. All of us believe that cooperation and the exchange of experience can offer everybody better opportunities, in an increasingly global market", said Josep Tobella, President of FESPA España.
