“And, while 2026 is already shaping up to be the most exciting event yet on all fronts, we may have a few surprises left in store that we’ll be sharing in the coming weeks…stay tuned!”
What’s New at Expo 2026
The 2026 Expo launches with a newly redesigned website and enhanced digital experience, making it easier than ever for attendees to explore exhibitors, plan their visit, and maximize time on the show floor.

- Live equipment demonstrations and new product launches across every segment of print.
- Education sessions covering the industry’s most critical and emerging topics, including automation, AI, workflow efficiency, sustainability, and business growth opportunities.

- Expanded PRINTING AI programming to help printers better understand, evaluate, and implement artificial intelligence across their operations.

Expo All-Stars Return for Season Two
Returning for its second “season,” the All-Stars program will once again bring global industry ambassadors to the show floor, offering guided insights, curated pathways, and peer-to-peer expertise to help attendees experience everything the Expo has to offer.
Student Day “3.0” Connects Students with Exhibitors for Networking Opportunities
Also, back and bigger than ever is Student Day, continuing the Alliance’s commitment to workforce development. In partnership with the Print and Graphics Scholarship Foundation, now the Foundation for Graphic Communication Education, the program connects students directly with leading companies on the show floor and, in 2026, will even more closely highlight career pathways in print and facilitate meaningful conversations around internships and job opportunities.
The Association Behind the Show Keeping Things Running 24/7/365
At the center of it all, the PRINTING United Alliance booth will serve as a hub for attendees to engage with the organization’s unmatched portfolio of resources, available year-round, 24/7/365, including training and certifications through its iLEARNING+ platform, research, advocacy, HR guidance, EHS, and business tools designed to support success across the printing industry.
In addition to the expansive show floor and education, PRINTING United Expo 2026 will feature a growing lineup of co-located meetings, global partnerships, and industry collaborations—further solidifying its role as the central gathering place for the worldwide printing community.
“The Expo was recently named a Trade Show Executive ‘Fastest 50’ show, as well as captured an award for the ‘Fastest Growing Show in Sheer Attendance,’” Carruth continues. “Our commitment to delivering an event that spotlights the industry’s very latest technology and solutions, and truly has something for everyone, is what we strive for and keeps the event fresh, exciting, and relevant year over year. We look forward to having you join us in Vegas to experience it all.”
