Kornit Digital Hosts Konnections 2026 to Advance On-Demand Apparel Production

Kornit Digital Ltd. (NASDAQ: KRNT) has convened more than 500 apparel industry stakeholders in Hollywood, Florida, for its annual Konnections 2026 event. The three-day gathering features over 20 sessions focused on the transition toward on-demand manufacturing. The event reflects ongoing industry shifts toward faster, more flexible, and technology-driven production models.

Kornit Digital Ltd. announced that over 500 participants from across the global apparel value chain are attending Konnections 2026 – Powered by Kornit, taking place in Hollywood, Florida. Now in its third year, the event includes more than 20 sessions across three days and serves as a platform for discussions on evolving production strategies in the apparel sector.

The event brings together representatives from sports and fashion brands, digital platforms, designers, software providers, fulfillment companies, investors, analysts, and media. Participants are focusing on the shift from traditional forecast-based production models toward demand-driven, on-demand manufacturing approaches.

The apparel industry is currently experiencing structural changes driven by shifting consumer demand, increased influence of digital platforms, and the need for faster response times. Companies are working to reduce operational risks, improve margins, and enhance sustainability while maintaining product quality and speed. These factors are contributing to the adoption of technologies that enable real-time production adjustments.

During Konnections 2026, Kornit introduced Atlas MATRIX, a system designed to support on-demand production across multiple fabric types, including cotton, polyester, and blends, within a single platform. The system is intended to enable consistent production quality across materials, addressing scalability challenges in digital manufacturing.

The company is also highlighting its acquisition of PrintFactory, a cloud-based platform focused on color management and production consistency across digital and analog processes. According to Kornit, this addition supports manufacturers transitioning from traditional production methods and facilitates distributed production at scale, including expansion into the global screen-printing segment.

These developments are part of Kornit’s broader approach to building an integrated digital infrastructure that connects demand generation with production and fulfillment processes. The aim is to enable consistent global output while supporting scalable on-demand manufacturing and reducing inventory-related risks.

“We are witnessing the gradual decline of traditional production models and the emergence of a new era in apparel manufacturing,” said Ronen Samuel, Chief Executive Officer of Kornit Digital. “Production is increasingly moving closer to demand, enabled by digital infrastructure connecting demand generation, production, and fulfillment. Konnections unifies the leaders shaping this transformation.”

Konnections 2026 includes participation from attendees across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, representing a wide cross-section of the global apparel ecosystem. The speaker lineup includes Nick Beighton, former CEO of ASOS; Alex Saltonstall, CEO of the combined Printful and Printify platform; Daymond John, entrepreneur and Shark Tank investor; along with executives from companies such as Legends, Custom Ink, Redbubble, Zumiez, Life is Good, Nine Line, and Grand Style.

A key feature of the event is the Konnections Solutions Showcase, where Kornit is presenting technologies including Atlas MATRIX, Apollo, and Presto MAX PLUS for roll-to-roll and technical applications. The showcase also includes partner technologies covering software, automation, robotics, and materials, illustrating integrated production workflows.

Mr. Samuel concluded, “Konnections 2026 represents a defining moment for an industry increasingly shaped by agility, real-time production, and minimal waste. Konnections unifies the global ecosystem enabling this transformation and demonstrates how the future of apparel production is becoming a reality.”
