WITH the Covid-19 pandemic putting paid to physical sourcing events around the world, buyers and sourcing specialists would have been at a loss.

But Sphere Exhibits, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singapore Press Holdings, will be staging a three-in-one mega sourcing virtual trade show for corporate gifts, office, printing, packaging, signage and labelling solutions.

The Singapore Gifts & Premiums Fair (SGPFair), Office Expo Asia (OEA) and PrintPack+Sign (PP+S) events will be held virtually this year between Oct 28 and Oct 30.

Exhibition director Stanley Foo said: "Health, safety and travel restrictions during this pandemic will no longer be a barrier because local and international exhibitors and attendees can engage through live chats, video calls and webinars, and arrange online meetings from the comfort of their own office or home."

SGPFair brings together those in the promotional, corporate, incentive, and retail gift trade; OEA features the players in the world of workplace solutions and development, office products and stationery supplies, and the PP+S showcases print and packaging innovations, signage and labelling technologies, trends and design.

In a statement on Tuesday, organisers said that the three-day live virtual exhibition will enable exhibitors to promote their products and services, drive leads, create awareness and, in turn, generate revenue.
