Link Exhibitions, the company behind The Print Show has announced the launch of a brand new, dedicated event for the sign industry – The Sign Show.
Scheduled to run for the first time in 2025, The Sign Show will take place alongside The Print Show from September 23rd to 25th at the NEC in Birmingham. Link Exhibitions is billing the event as the UK’s ‘annual dedicated sign expo’ and pledges to establish a show dedicated to signage.
“What we mean by this is that we will only be focusing on signage,” says Chris Davies, event director for both The Sign Show and The Print Show. He continues: “From signwriting and vinyl wrapping to sign fabrication and engraving, no matter what part of the sign market you are working in, there will be something for you at The Sign Show.”
What Can We Expect?
Details of what visitors can look forward to at the debut event next year can be found on the new website at thesignshow.co.uk. These include live demonstrations for crafts such as vinyl wrapping to showcase the possibilities of vehicle wrapping, window and floor graphics, and the expanding world of architectural film.
There will also be opportunities for visitors to see specialist workshops on sign-making crafts not often seen at other trade shows, including neon sign-making, traditional signwriting, and metalwork. “We want to demonstrate the art and wow factor of amazing signage projects,” says Chris.
Recognising that there are few opportunities within the UK to bring the sign community together, Chris Davies concludes, “We want to build an event that truly celebrates the UK sign industry and the many amazing people that work across the sector. By running in-event features, we hope to open visitors’ eyes to the methods behind signage and inspire them to explore new opportunities for their own businesses.”
