The Print Show returns for its eighth exhibition this year at Birmingham’s NEC from September 17th to 19th. Last year’s edition was celebrated for its positive atmosphere, various attractions, and its variety of exhibitors of all different sizes. Last year saw several revamped areas of the show including the Knowledge Zone and Sales Lounge, which both included new growth and networking opportunities for visitors. Both areas will return this year along with the Gala Party – an opportunity for visitors and exhibitors to come together for an evening of food, drinks, and music, on the evening of September 18th at The National Conference Centre opposite the NEC. Since 2015 The Print Show has demonstrated the importance of trade shows and the show’s unique proposition in offering a range of solutions from the entire print industry in one UK location. Chris Davies, event director of The Print Show, says: “There is no other environment where you are able to access all these resources, from such a variety of brands, in a single space, other than at trade shows. Being the only UK show dedicated to the entire print industry means The Print Show is well positioned to provide this experience to our UK market which may not have been able to travel to Europe for larger shows.” This year has seen another sleugh of new exhibitors as well as returning big names following the success of the 2023 show. Brands like Konica Minolta, Agfa, Fujifilm, Liyu UK, Soyang Europe, Summa, swissQprint, Venture Banners, Hybrid Services, and Vivid, have all dedicated to sizeable stands at this year’s show with new kit and solutions on display. In this preview we hear from show organisers and exhibitors about what visitors can expect from this year’s exciting event.
