What a great issue to return to after spending an exciting week at the inaugural Sign Show, organised by the same team behind the already well-received Print Show at the NEC in Birmingham. After attending four Print Shows during my time with SignLink, I’m comfortable in saying that this was the most successful one yet. Not only did the show attract more visitors, but also there was plenty for people to see and interact with, which truly showed the diversity, creativity, and charisma present in the print and signage industries. As this was the official launch of The Sign Show, it was also great to see so many elements of signage on display and being celebrated, including neon glass bending, traditional signwriting, and vehicle wrapping. Both the print and signage industries continue to diversify, evolve, and grow into new markets, and this year’s shows demonstrated that there was a hunger from UK businesses to keep getting better and not let print or signage be bogged down by the negative headlines concerning certain industries or the economy at large. The shows were also a great chance to speak with various exhibitors and visitors, finding out what brought them to the show, and what they wanted to share. During my three days at the show, I got to interview several professionals in the print and signage industries at our unique media stand, located right next to The Knowledge Zone, which was filled with interesting talks across the three days. Check out our Instagram and YouTube channels to see great conversations with the likes of Very Displays, IPL Leeds, and Isabel Shanahan from Imageco. In the latter interview, Shanahan talked about the importance of young people in the industry, which for me was the standout at the show as various organisations and companies highlighted new talent in the industry, and the need to attract more. If you didn’t manage to attend The Sign Show, you can find out more in our review on page 20, plus you can read about related topics such as vehicle wrapping on page 56, and also metal signage on page 51. Happy reading! EDITOR S NOTE [L to R] SignLink readers, Arron Sangha and Lewis Scott from Aura Brand Solutions visiting this year’s Print Show and Sign Show.
