FESPA has announced that FESPA Mexico 2020 will be postponed to September 23-25, 2021, due to the ongoing business disruption and continued public health risk caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic. The exhibition, which was originally scheduled to take place from November 26-28, 2020, will again be hosted at the Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City.

In November 2020, in lieu of the live event, FESPA will be launching a new online exhibitor showroom for its Mexican speciality print community. The digital platform will allow regional exhibitors to showcase all their latest news, product launches and videos. In addition, visitors and prospects will be able to network virtually with exhibitors to share ideas and initiate discussions on sales, according to a press release on the show.

“In May 2020, we took the decision to delay FESPA Mexico until November in the face of the developing pandemic. Since then, the impact of COVID-19 in Central America has been dynamic and uncertain. Our number one priority is the health and safety of all of our exhibitors and visitors and we are therefore taking this step to eliminate the risk to all of our participants. We look forward to welcoming our Mexican community back in September 2021,” Neil Felton, FESPA CEO said.

“We recognise the importance of hosting FESPA Mexico in educating, connecting, and advancing the speciality print market in Mexico and Central America, so we’re excited to announce the exhibitor showroom. With this initiative, we’re enabling exhibitors and visitors to connect with each other, share knowledge, and spark inspiration until we’re able to meet in person again in September 2021,” Michael Ryan, group exhibition manager said.
