“It’s a real pleasure to be back in Barcelona for the first time since 2012! This year, European Sign Expo is truly poised to be ‘The Place for Experts’ – the ideal meeting point for the specialist printing community. Visitors will have the opportunity to see a multitude of exhibitors, covering all aspects of printing and signage, all in one place. They will also be able to engage in inspiring conversations, compare solutions and ideas, and leave with practical knowledge they can implement in their businesses.”
