More than three-quarters of the show floor space at next February's FESPA Digital trade fair in Barcelona has now been sold, with 200 exhibitors confirmed for the wide-format event so far. FESPA says it expects the full exhibitor line-up to number over 350.

"Re-bookings for FESPA Digital 2012 were higher than we have ever experienced following the runaway success of our Hamburg FESPA Digital 2011 event in May this year," explains exhibition manager James Ford. "Feedback from exhibitors was glowing, and most wanted to stake their claim on the 2012 floor plan before the 2011 show even closed.

"European companies are excited about Barcelona as a destination for the next event, and naturally we are also experiencing heightened levels of interest from suppliers in southern Europe."

In addition to demonstrations and presentations on exhibitors' stands, FESPA Digital – taking place from February 21st to 24th – will feature Explore conference sessions, 'inspiration zones' and stand trails.
