Duncan MacOwan, FESPA’s Head of Marketing and Events, comments, “Last year’s Personalisation Experience reaffirmed to us that there was a gap in the market for an event dedicated to customisation. We’re thrilled to bring the event back this year to help brand owners and retailers connect with the people, technology and software that can help them take advantage of customisation opportunities. They can explore creative tools and production technologies to capitalise on the customer demand for personalised products and learn how they can make personalisation central to their offering. We have a strong line-up of exhibitors showcasing their solutions in the Personalisation Experience exhibition area, and I would encourage visitors to also visit the co-located events, as there’s a significant number of suppliers highlighting customisation enabling solutions.”
Visitors can also purchase tickets for the Personalisation Experience conference, taking place on 20 March, where they can learn about the power of personalisation and the commercial growth opportunities it represents. Moderated by FESPA’s Personalisation Ambassador, Richard Askam, the conference will delve into topics such as: creating value with personalisation; aligning productivity and demand; understanding the value of customers’ self-expression; and how personalisation has the power to make fashion more circular and emotionally meaningful.
