Labelexpo Europe 2013 dates announced

Labelexpo Europe 2013 is set to return to Brussels Expo in Belgium on September 24–27. Now in its 32^nd year, the biennial fair is regarded as the label industry’s flagship event and is again supported by Finat.

2013’s show moves from its traditional Wednesday-to-Saturday slot following visitor analysis and consultation with exhibitors. Roger Pellow, Labelexpo managing director, explained: ‘Having surveyed 2011’s exhibitors, 84 percent said they would prefer the show to be held during the working week. Historic visitor figures support the move too: showing a small decline then static visitor numbers on the Saturday, while the weekdays have steadily experienced significantly increased footfall.’

In total, 28,636 visitors from 118 countries attended 2011’s show while it attracted 550 exhibitors. The Labelexpo Global Series team anticipates the 2013 show growing beyond six halls of floor space for the first time.
