The doors to The Print Show 2026 have opened, with visitors descending on the NEC Birmingham for the event’s largest ever celebration of UK print.

Now in its tenth anniversary year, The Print Show has upgraded to Hall 1 of the NEC in Birmingham, with the event taking place from September 29th to October 1st. The exhibition will play host to a plethora leading names in printing technology, as well as a broad selection of specialist suppliers.

The Print Show 2026 is once again co-locating with The Sign Show, an event targeted at the UK signage market, allowing those in attendance to explore the latest developments across both print and sign-making under one roof at the NEC.

Alongside a sold-out show floor packed with exhibitors and leading manufacturers, the event is also hosting a series of special features to help visitors get the most out of their day at the show.

The Knowledge Zone will host expert speakers from various areas of the market, while attendees can also explore new features including the all-new Print Show Podcast Booth and Print Mastermind Live area.

The Print Show Podcast Booth will host podcasters from across the print and sign industries, with both live and recorded sessions set to take place. The feature marks the first time The Print Show has offered a dedicated podcast and content creation space for exhibitors, visitors, and industry commentators.

Print Mastermind Live will serve as a dedicated and interactive zone offering print business owners the chance to step away from the show floor and take part in open conversations about how to grow their business.

Visitors will be able to drop in and join short, topic-led group sessions hosted by experienced print professionals, offering practical insight into what is working in the print industry right now. Each 30-minute session will give attendees the opportunity to speak with experts across a wide range of business topics.

Meanwhile, the returning Traditional Sign-Making Masterclass will once again allow visitors to get hands-on with signage, while the new PPF Knowledge Hub will offer valuable insight into the world of paint protection film and the opportunities this presents.

Anyone interested in attending can register for free upon arrival at the NEC. Hall 1 is in easy reach of Birmingham International railway station, while parking is available close to the hall.
