BEWARE OF SCAMS
Exhibitors are being targeted by companies claiming to be, or work with, the event organisers. They use existing event branding and may appear genuine. In the past this has included offering good rates on hotel bookings. All exhibitors should check the small print before signing anything relating to FESPA’s exhibitions and events and thoroughly check out the company to be assured they are genuine.
If in doubt, please contact FESPA by email at info@fespa.com. Please note that AVANTEL Hotel Reservation GmbH is the sole official accommodation agency for FESPA Global Print Expo and European Sign Expo 2023. If you are contacted by other agencies, it may be with fraudulent intent.
