Konica Minolta announces details of Print‑Ed 2026

Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK will host a two-day educational print event, Print‑Ed 2026, on March 11^th and 12^th.

The event, hosted in partnership with the Association of Creative Print Managers in Education (ACPME), will welcome print and creative professionals to Konica Minolta’s Client Engagement Centre (CEC) at Houghton Regis for peer‑led learning, technology insight, and sector‑wide collaboration – with web-to-print being a key focus this year.

Print‑Ed 2026 will also feature roundtables, hands-on demonstrations, and practical discussions on workflow automation, sustainability, creative integration, and the evolving role of in‑house print rooms.

This year’s event also marks a milestone for ACPME as it evolves into the In‑house Creative & Print Alliance (ICPA). The new identity aims to reflect the organisation’s expanded commitment to support the in‑house print and creative community working across corporate, public‑sector, and non‑profit environments.

Ollie Renshaw, vice-chair of ACPME, says: “In‑house creative and print teams across every sector are facing similar pressures – automation, sustainability, skills, and proving strategic value.

“Becoming ICPA allows us to support a much wider professional community while continuing to champion our education members. Print‑Ed 2026 is the ideal platform to begin this next chapter.”

Glyn Williams, production print and industrial print channel manager, private and public sector, at Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK, says: “In‑house print teams are transforming rapidly, and they need spaces to learn from each other and explore new possibilities.

“We’re proud to host Print‑Ed 2026 and to support ACPME as it becomes ICPA – an evolution that reflects the growing importance of in‑house production across all industries.”

Print-Ed 2026 is free to attend and registration is now open, with more details available on the events section of the Konica Minolta UK website.
