The conference programme is free to attend for all visitors to the exhibition and will run every day from 11.00am on stand N20. Simultaneous translation in Thai and English will be available for every seminar presented by both local and international speakers.

Visitors interested in current and future industry trends should attend the daily FESPA Print Census sessions hosted by Sean Holt, Executive Director at FESPA. In this seminar Sean will share the outcomes of the 2018 FESPA Print Census, looking in particular at the issues and trends shaping the print industry. Sean will also look ahead to the next Print Census, exploring how and why the research forms the backbone of strategic business planning and helps printers to spot emerging trends to help them grow their business.

On Friday 22 February, Dmitry Sarbaev, Managing Director at Fluxmall DTG Vietnam will host a session on How to start a successful direct-to-garment printing (DTG) business, where he will look at the essential questions print service providers (PSPs) need to ask when developing a business plan.

Roz Guarnori, Exhibitions Director at FESPA, comments: "Our conferences are an important part of any FESPA event. The seminars at our past events in Asia have proven extremely popular with the regional audience of printers and sign-makers, who are continually looking to increase their technical and commercial knowledge. With seminars presented by both local and international speakers, visitors will get a feel for both local and global trends in the industry."
