The Textile segment will provide a platform for professionals involved in printed textiles, including fashion, apparel, and interior décor. Technologies on display will include roll-to-roll systems, direct-to-garment (DTG), and direct-to-fabric (DTF) machinery. Textile-focused sessions within The FESPA Conference will address productivity, efficiency, and waste reduction.
Conference Programmes
FESPA 2026 will also host three conference programmes: The FESPA Conference, The Corrugated Conference, and WrapTalks. These sessions will run throughout the four-day event and are free to attend. Topics will include industry trends, EU packaging legislation, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and production workflows.
Michael Ryan, Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, said:
“With preparations almost complete for the 2026 events, I’m confident there are a wealth of opportunities awaiting the FESPA community at the Gran Via, Fira de Barcelona. This year, we’re expanding beyond print and signage, and I’m particularly excited to extend our reach into packaging, and even further into wrapping and textile printing.”
He added:
“With more than 600 exhibitors, six co-located events and three conference programmes, FESPA 2026 provides the perfect opportunity for visitors to explore new avenues for business growth, build connections across emerging industries, and deepen their knowledge. I’m looking forward to seeing what Barcelona has in store for everyone.”
