The successful Sign Africa Port Elizabeth expo, held on 27 March at the Boardwalk Convention Centre, attracted 325 visitors from around the Eastern Cape, including East London, Queenstown, Somerset East, George, Kirkwood, Grahamstown, Graaff-Reinet and Bathurst, to name a few.
Visitors were inspired by the latest technologies and trends in wide format digital printing, garment decoration, screen printing and signage.
Exhibitors had positive feedback about the event:
