The hosting city for the FESPA Global Print Show 2026 and its co-located exhibitions has been announced.
The shows will be making their way to sunny Spain as the Fira de Barcelona has been set as next year’s location, returning to the country after 13 years.
Michael Ryan, head of FESPA Global Print Expo, said: “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 can 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.
“After the cancellation of the 2020 events in Madrid, we’re delighted to be able to return to Southern Europe, building on our relations with the Spanish and Portuguese speciality print markets even further. See you in Barcelona!”
The 2026 show will be accompanied by co-locating exhibitions, the European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience, as well as welcoming back Sportswear Pro for its second edition.
Other confirmed features visitors can anticipate are the World Wrap Masters and Club FESPA.
Anyone wishing to attend should make notes in their calendars with the event looking to span from May 19 to May 22, 2026.
