PRINTING United Expo saw a record-breaking number of attendees and exhibitors for 2025, as reported by its organisers.
According to organisers, PRINTING United Alliance, the US print exhibition welcomed over 30,000 registered attendees from 104 countries, a significant increase from the 2024 event which saw almost 25,000 attendees.
The North American print exhibition, which concluded last Friday (October 24th), took place this year at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
The event featured 838 exhibitors showcasing the latest advancements in printing technology, materials, and workflow solutions across a one million sq ft space.
Ford Bowers, chief executive officer of PRINTING United Alliance, says: “PRINTING United Expo continues to prove that the printing industry is vibrant, evolving, and full of opportunity.
“Each year, we see stronger engagement, deeper collaboration, and an even greater spirit of innovation and scale from every corner of print.”
The show featured hundreds of new product launches including global debuts, more than 100 educational sessions and presentations, and nearly 60 participating media outlets and association partners from around the world including Print Monthly and sister publication, SignLink.
Chris Curran, group president of media and events at PRINTING United Alliance, who assumed leadership of the annual event this year, adds: “The Expo embodied the convergence of every market under one roof – and the innovation our industry thrives on.
“From AI to automation and sustainability, every corner of the show floor was power-packed with solutions driving print forward. We’re already looking ahead to 2026 where the show floor is already 65% sold to date.”
PRINTING United Expo will head to Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 23rd to 25th, 2026, with exhibitor and sponsorship bookings already open at the PRINTING United website.
