“Attending the Spandex Summit 2026 at Mercedes Benz World gave the
BSGA team a welcome opportunity to reconnect with our industry colleagues and engage with the suppliers and professionals who continue to advocate best practice and expertise within our signage and graphics sector.” The benefit of moving the location to
just outside of London, helped those from the south attend the summit more easily, and opened these types of events to those who might otherwise might not be able to attend. Linda continued: “Events such as
this provide an important forum for conversation, learning and the exchange of ideas across our diverse industry. Locating the event in Surrey additionally helped extend its reach, providing greater accessibility for businesses across the South of England and allowing a wider cross section of the industry to partake.”
