The first survey will focus on three key areas that are influencing the print industry landscape: sustainability, artificial intelligence (AI) in printing operations, and process automation.
FESPA has announced that its flagship annual FESPA Global Print Expo and co-located events (European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience), will take place at the Fira de Barcelona, Spain, from 19 to 22 May next year. The 2026 show will also welcome back Sportswear Pro for its second edition. In addition, confirmed features include World Wrap Masters and Club FESPA.
Michael Ryan, head of FESPA Global Print Expo, says, “It gives me great pleasure to share that we have chosen Barcelona as the host city for our 2026 flagship events. As a peripatetic event, it’s important to us that we are able to connect with our different associations and the regional markets as a whole. We’re excited to see what the city has in store for us and are confident that our visitors will have the opportunity to unveil a wealth of business potential across print, signage, personalisation and sportswear.”
He continues, “After the cancellation of the 2020 events in Madrid, we’re delighted to be able to return to Southern Europe after 13 years, building on our relations with the Spanish and Portuguese specialty print markets even further. See you in Barcelona!”
FESPA Global Print Expo was last hosted at the Fira de Barcelona in 2012. The venue, which is a leading trade fair organization in Spain, is easily accessible via transport links and is recognized for its previous success as a host platform for FESPA events.
Further details on FESPA 2026 will be available after this year’s FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience (6 – 9 May 2025, Messe Berlin, Germany).
