Daniel Sunderland, FESPA President ─ A New President ─ A New Vision.
Daniel Sunderland, the new FESPA President, unveils “FESPA Future,” a vision to help the specialty print community thrive beyond survival mode. This initiative, highlighted at FESPA 2025, focuses on investing in member associations, innovation, education, and digital transformation, guided by the strapline “Connect, Inspire, Support.”
We know that individuals and businesses do not thrive in survival mode, they need a positive vision of the future to remain motivated and drive them forward.
That’s why, at FESPA, we see now as the ideal time to highlight our future-facing Corporate vision – FESPA Future.
FESPA Future is a new vision that details how FESPA Connects, Inspires and Supports its community outside of its global exhibitions, and outlines how we will provide the intel for print businesses to grow, so they’re not only surviving, but thriving!
Connect, Inspire, Support.
FESPA’s new strapline ‘Connect, Inspire, Support’ reflects our values and three key areas where we will help to grow our community.
By sharing insights and articles both on fespa.com and our online content hubs, we hope to maximise printers’ opportunities by representing areas for growth and the latest technologies.
I’m also delighted that we are re-launching our Print Census in a more regular format. It will provide printers with insights into the latest trends and challenges, and how they can use them to drive their print business forward.
Collaboration and innovation are key, and by highlighting new opportunities and emerging technologies, we can help print businesses to expand their services and essentially perform at their best.
Through our events, we showcase these new opportunities and market areas that provide value to our members and demonstrate how they can capitalise on these trends.
We also want to lead by example, which is why achieving the ISO 20121:2012 certification for Sustainable Event Management in 2024 was so important to us, as it solidifies our commitment to implementing best practices for sustainable operations in our own business.
Looking forward
Together – FESPA and the speciality print sector – we can shape the future of the industry by embracing new technologies, collaborating and knowledge-sharing, and pushing driving innovation. I, for one, am excited to see what lies ahead.
