Media Expo, regarded as India’s largest exhibition for advertising and signage solutions, is set for its 3-day live exhibition from 18 to 20 November at the India Expo Mart in Greater Noida. Being organized under the safety parameters or protocols of MFI SafeConnect, the platform will provide a secure meeting space for face-to-face business networking and aim to draw attention to indigenous manufacturing and domestic collaborations.
Media Expo is the platform where the Indian advertising, printing, and signage technologies will once again reunite and explore future possibilities for the industry. This year the goal of the exhibition is to promote industry reconnection and business recovery so that the physical advertising fraternity can regain its former momentum. It is a place where visitors can interact with leading businesses in indoor and outdoor advertising and signage, and witness the latest product launches.
In addition to our first preview, Indian Printer Publisher tried to connect with exhibitors such as HP, Mehta Cad Cam, Arrow Digital, Ace Infotex, Harpreet Graphics, Rextone to know more about their displays and hopes for the event. We will be in hall number 14 at Stand A55 and would like to know more about your views on the industry and the inkjet technologies you see going forward. We have a special interest in head technologies, inkjet for textile printing and 3D printing as well. Please stop by for a chat if you can make the time.
HP with latex printers at Media Expo – Hall 14 Stand B01
Speaking with HP, we learnt that they will be showcasing the newly launched Latex 700 W and Latex 800 printers along with their other dynamic large-format applications for signage and décor. HP said, “The entire HP team is very excited to participate in this exhibition. It gives us an opportunity to meet our customers, partners, and, most important, industry leaders after a gap of almost two years.
Our industry works on trust and relationship building for which, it’s important to have these platforms where we can meet our stakeholders face to face, following Covid-19 protocols. Since the exhibition is happening after two years, we expect there would be a similar excitement in the industry community to come and witness the latest in technology and also meet up with some familiar faces, so the footfall should be very good.”
“With the economy coming out of the pandemic impact, we see very strong momentum in the overall Indian economy both in the manufacturing and services segment. The Indian printing industry serves both these key components of the economy, hence we remain very optimistic about the future of the printing industry in India. We are noticing revival of capex by many organizations and simultaneously the marketing expenses are also on the rise, following which, we expect the large format printing industry should register strong growth both in the short and long term.”

Gradually it is coming back to the track, we are very much excited to meet customers one on one and showcase new technologies and are expecting good exposure from this show. Media Expo is the platform, where you can see the latest technologies and also meet serious prospects, all under one roof.”
