Printwear & Promotion 2022 update

[Paul]

With the current uncertainties and potential logistical issues caused by the Omicron variant of COVID-19, in respect to being able to host the show as planned in February, we have been in discussion with the NEC about the prospect of being able to postpone the show. Consequently, we have delayed the show by a few months, with our revised dates being Sunday, April 24 to Tuesday, April 26.Having spoken to many of our exhibitors since the start of the year, the desire of all is for the event to go ahead at a time, when there will be less uncertainty and giving all in attendance, visitors and exhibitors, the opportunity to participate, converse, and benefit from the show in as safe an environment, and with the biggest turnout, as possible!
We appreciate that the postponement may disappoint some of our visitors, who had already made plans to attend in February. However, we felt that for the successful and safer running of the show, it is the more sensible and prudent decision to take up the option of moving to April. All being well, at that time, the Government’s Plan B will no longer be in force, and the wearing of face masks will not be required for those in attendance!
There is a real desire among both visitors and exhibitors to be back at the show and we hope that you will be among them. The number of our pre-registered visitors is at a record high and commitment from our exhibitors is excellent with the vast majority of the major equipment suppliers, clothing distributors and brands exhibiting and around 100 stands on the floorplan.

Currently trade fair Giving and Living in Exeter is on (16th-18th Jan) and although we are not exhibiting this year I have a friend that is so trying to get some info as to how busy it is. Will post back when I can for those who are interested in attendance figures.

I was planning on going to look for a DTF printer. Pros and cons I guess - maybe there will be more to see at the end of April.

I am sure RESOLUTE will be there with their DTF machine.

...and TMT with the 'new' Mutoh version of the vj628. Screen Print World have a new 'all in one' that comes with a built in shaker and dryer.
