In the digital halls (1, 3 and 7), visitors will discover the latest equipment, consumables, software and applications for digital wide format print as well as over 50 product launches from both international and smaller manufacturers.

Co-located with FESPA Textile for digital textile printing including soft signage and garment decoration; European Sign Expo for non-printed signage, and Printeriors for printed interior decoration, there is an enormous amount of information all under one roof covering applications, technology and content, to enable printers to find the opportunities to grow their business and expand into new areas.
This year, Printeriors will take the form of a Print Hotel, showcasing 16 room sets decorated using digital and textile print. Each room set will be a different hotel room such as a bathroom, bedroom, bar and meeting room, highlighting the many possibilities of using print for interior decoration.
The educational programme at FESPA Digital will consist of two seminar theatres: Digital Seminars Area and the Sign Seminars Area. Both will host daily sessions looking at the trends and technologies in the digital and textile wide format print and signage sectors. The seminar areas will be supplemented by two specialist one-day conferences - The Digital Textile Conference and Printeriors Conference - taking place on Tuesday 8 March and Thursday 10 March respectively.

Since its inception 10 years ago, FESPA Digital has been the launch platform for many exhibitors, and this year is no exception. With so many new exhibitors, products, demos and of course new content, attendees can't fail to see opportunities at the show.
