At FESPA’s inaugural Personalisation Experience event attendees had the opportunity to engage with leading providers of personalisation technologies, attend thought-provoking conferences, and even order customised products in the dedicated Personalisation Experience Zone.
Personalisation Experience 24 will be back in Amsterdam next year
The first Personalisation Experience event organised by FESPA was held alongside the FESPA Global Print Expo and European Sign Expo 2023 in Munich last month (23-26 May). This unique event featured an expert-led conference program and an exhibition space, offering visitors a comprehensive understanding of the potential of personalisation to drive commercial growth.
Personalisation Experience aimed to highlight the value of personalisation and provided delegates with a 360-degree view of its significance across different industries. The event brought together various stakeholders, including printers, manufacturers, data scientists, technology providers, creative agencies, brands, and retailers.
Richard Askam, FESPA’s Personalisation Experience Ambassador comments: “This was the first event of its kind, combining a conference programme and exhibition space to give a rounded perspective on the scope for personalisation to deliver commercial growth. FESPA saw the need to demonstrate how personalisation adds value, and delivered delegates a 360-degree view of the significance of personalisation to different industries. Personalisation Experience also reflected the contribution of the entire supply chain, from printers, manufacturers, data scientists and technology providers to creative agencies, brands and retailers.“
With a line-up of 25 speakers, the Personalisation Experience conference encouraged lively debates and offered insights into the psychology and behavioural science that makes personalisation so effective, the commercial value of personalisation, and how digital transformation, technology and software solutions enable customisation.
