Personalisation Experience will serve as a hub for brands, retailers, printers, manufacturers and technology providers to explore how customers place significant value on personalised products. They will learn about how to leverage commercial opportunities in this field – from implementing variable data print and scaling up customisation production, to intelligent automation and connected workflows.
Visitors to the event will also be able to experience free to attend, expert led conference sessions, taking place on the show floor and covering topics including personalisation, printing, textile and signage.
Duncan MacOwan, Head of Marketing and Events, FESPA, comments: “Personalisation is now fundamental to how brands connect with their customers. It has also shifted from being a specialist feature to a more widely available offering – and for printers, this presents huge commercial opportunities.
“Visitors to the show can explore creative solutions to capitalise on the customer demand for customised products and learn how they can make it central to their offering. I also encourage visitors to explore the co-located events, as there will be several suppliers displaying customisation enabling solutions.”
