Brazil's Serigrafia Sign and FutureTextil show saw an increase in both visitor and exhibitor numbers in July, attracting more than 45,000 visitors and around 600 exhibitors – an increase from 450 in 2011. The sign, digital imaging and textiles exhibition is the largest in South America, says its organiser BTS Informa.

"The increase in both visitor and exhibitors numbers at this year's Serigrafia Sign and FutureTextil is testimony to the strength and growth of the Latin American market," says Trevor Crawford, director of the Print and Media Group at Informa Exhibitions.
