Spotlight on Printwear & Promotion Live 2024
Printwear & Promotion Live (P&P Live) 2024 was back at the NEC Birmingham from 25th-27th February 2024 but with a major difference this year. Following low attendance since the COVID pandemic, a strategic partnership this year saw a record number of visitors. For the first time, P&P Live 2024 was co-located with Sign & Digital UK, giving P&P Live a much-needed boost. Over half of this year’s P&P Live exhibitors were so pleased with the quality of footfall that they have already booked for next year’s show.
P&P Live has been running for thirty-five years and is a permanent fixture in the garment decoration industry calendar, with all the latest trends in the equipment, clothing lines and related accessories sectors. This year saw 140 exhibitors and a record number of 7,500 visitors across the three-day extravaganza.
This year’s show saw lots of live product demonstrations and an action-packed Seminar Programme with experts from the printing and embroidery sectors. From top clothing brands, clothing distributors, decoration equipment and accessories suppliers including embroidery, direct to garment, transfer, sublimation and screen-printing brands, visitors had access to a wide range of exhibitors.
