Event | Review Sign & Digital UK co-located with Printwear & Promotion LIVE! for the second time
WHAT A SHOW! SIGN & DIGITAL UK,
AND THE CO-LOCATED PRINTWEAR & PROMOTION LIVE!, CAME TO A
CLOSE ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25 AFTER
A SUCCESSFUL THREE DAYS AT THE NEC IN BIRMINGHAM.
The second co-location of these two leading exhibitions attracted 7,055 visitors who took the time out of their busy working week to discover everything the visual communication sector and garment decoration industries had to offer. Event director, Tony Gardner, said: “This year’s Sign & Digital UK and its co-location with Printwear & Promotion LIVE! was positively received by our exhibitors and visitors! As expected without a partition between the two halls, there was a constant flow of visitors across the two. Once inside it felt like one big event! “We were delighted to welcome back a number of big names to the show this year including Antalis, William Smith and of course Hexis, and the Hexis Wrap Battle. This together with the special guest appearance of Yiannimize on the Monday really added a buzz to this year’s event. “Moving forward we now have a real framework to regrow the show!”
NEW EQUIPMENT LAUNCHES More than 60 exhibitors took to the show floor to showcase their very latest equipment, products and
