ESMA booth at FESPA 2013 with some special supporting partners!

The ESMA booth, located in the North Hall with stand C28N, is this time a partnership stand with Chameleon Business Media. We will announce together our new conference PID 2014, Printed Interior Decoration on 26-27 November 2013 in Düsseldorf!

Next partner on the Booth is PEL (Printed Electronics Ltd), a partner from the FP7 EU funded CLIP (Conductive Lowcost Ink project) which is coming to an end. PEL will demonstrate conductive printing with a DIMATIX inkjet printer and its developments with CLIP inks on EL posters… they will show the practical side of the Printed Electronics.

Last but not least as partner and member, Hollanders printing Systems, leader in direct textile printing for soft-signage but also in application for interior design. They recently launched new series of ColorBooster products.

ESMA is welcoming suppliers, printers and consultants to inform them about membership opportunities, benefits and about the new committees and workgroups!

GlassPrint 2013 is getting closer!

GlassPrint will take place on 27-28 November 2013 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
The presentation program is complete and reflects a nice balance between screen and digital subjects but also between flat and hollow glass. This time there will be extra interest in container glass subjects. Exhibitors are still welcome; however the number of places is limited. For early bird registrations and further information, check the website www.glassprint.org. DON’T MISS THIS EVENT and REGISTRATE NOW!

Printed Interior Decoration 2014

ESMA is organising its long promised event for Printed Interior Decoration (PID) on 26-27 November 2014. This 2 day conference will concentrate on all possible fields of interior decoration using printing technology. There will be 20 presentations over 2 days and a table top exhibition running parallel to the presentations.

The conference organisation is the kick-off for several other activities connected to PID such as competition for decoration amongst students and universities, a commercial competition for printers taken part in a decoration project and an information portal for all the subjects. We are still inviting speakers and exhibitors. Sponsor packages are available on request.

ESMA Pavilion at Glasstec 2014

The success of the last pavilion at Glasstec is pushing again to expand in cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf. We are currently starting to collect interest for an ESMA pavilion. This can be either for floor space only; or for joining the concept of ESMA pavilion as in 2012. We are planning 4 islands of 100 sqm each.

ESMA Pavilion at drupa 2016

Once again, ESMA is preparing for an early booking and cooperation for drupa 2016. We will be associated partner for Functional and Industrial Printing. We are planning again hall 3 as location but this time 6 islands of around 100 sqm each which will be divided amongst the participants. We will use the same stand builder as during Glasstec 2012.

New ESMA Committee Structure

To optimize the working within the association, there is a limited number of committees and more emphasis on results and dissemination of the goals.

1) Technical Exchange Committee - TEC
Goal: To choose applications which correspond to the defined areas of interest for the association and support them with technical exchanges whether in the form of documentation, conferences, standards or any other appropriate means of communication in order to increase their awareness and promote best practices.
2) Health, Safety & Environmental Protection - HSEP
Goal: To recognise regulations, coordinate a unified position, and formulate communication to correspondingly ensure members as well as users are informed of issues relating to Health, Safety, & Environmental Protection.
3) Marketing & Promotion - M&P
Goal: To coordinate and formulate marketing concepts which correspond to the topics and issues derived out of the TEC, the HSEP, or the Board.
