This edition will not feature the traditional columns such as SMEs MANAGEMENT & ACCOUNTING ACCORDING TO FEMI and PRINTERS’ FOOD. The reason is the limited pagination; as we have series of SPECIAL FEATURES with pictorials on exhibitions such as FESPA 2013 – 25th to 29th at ExCeL | London UK; SIGN AFRICA/ AFRICA 2013 – 21st to 23rd at Sandton Convention Centre | JHB South Africa; and PRINT ‘13 – 8th to 12th at McCormick Place | Chicago, IL USA.
So flip through your copy of WHERE To Print from page 2 to 12 and 16 on SPECIAL FESPA 2013 REPORT; pages 20, 21 and 26 on SPECIAL SIGN AFRICA/ AFRICA 2013 REPORT; and pages 28, 38 and 42 on SPECIAL PRINT 13 REPORT. These special reports are with exclusive pictures and interviews conducted at the shows.
Talking of interview, FESPA is now in Africa courtesy – partnership of Practical Publishing and FESPA – thus new show – FESPA AFRICA 2014 is birthed. WHERE To Print caught up with FESPA Managing Director – Neil Felton at the just concluded SIGN AFRICA/ AFRICA PRINT 2013 shows in Jo’Burg to know the reason behind the new industry-specific exhibition brand for Africa. Our discussion forms the COVER STORY of this edition titled: COMING TO AFRICA IS A TACTICAL MOVE FOR US – open to page 24 to know about FESPA AFRICA initiative.
I was at PANTONE office in New Jersey and decided to visit the Statue of Liberty in New York. This monumental edifice aptly demonstrated America’s freedom and openness to the world. Interestingly, it was at this American iconic structure that I actually understood America’s freedom and democratic advocacies. I will enjoin all US visitors to visit the Statue of Liberty and discover not only about America and her ideals but most importantly – about the righteous tenets of freedom, democracy and human rights – and by the way (and for your information), the Statue of Liberty was a gift to the Americans from the French!
As I sign off; please do support worthy causes that will make Nigeria the country we wish her to be!
Until next edition, keep doing good!
Best regards
