PRINTING United Expo 2026: 10 Things You Must Do

With so much happening at PRINTING United Expo, it’s hard to know where to focus. Here’s a list of not-to-be-missed elements and attractions at the massive event.

1: The Expo Floor
The Expo fills the north and central halls at the Las Vegas Convention Center with over a million net square feet and 700+ exhibitors. This is where major product launches, partner meetings and competitive intelligence happen. Use your time wisely to see and evaluate the latest technology in one place.

2: New Products
Suppliers time big reveals for PRINTING United. Expect fresh equipment, inks, software and service offerings across printing, wide format, apparel and promo. Seeing launches live lets you assess fit, ask technical questions, and beat competitors to technology adoption.

3: Alliance Booths and Member Lounge
Visit the Printing United Alliance booth area to explore membership benefits, advocacy work, workforce initiatives and practical business resources like environmental health and safety guidance. The Alliance Member Lounge also offers Alliance members a convenient place to recharge without leaving the show floor.

4: iLEARNING+ Demos center and G7 Experts
Experience live demos of iLEARNING+ courses and certifications and meet international G7 color-management authorities. The global growth of The Alliance’s online training platform makes this a prime spot to evaluate training that can scale skills across your team and improve color consistency in production.

5: G7/G7+ Exchange Event
Color control matters, and G7+ is becoming essential. This networked gathering of experts, consultants, printers and brands provides intensive discussion and connections that lead to better color workflows and certification opportunities. Make sure to register early — space is limited.

6: AI Pavilion
The AI Pavilion, now in its second year, offers content plus practical assessments to evaluate your business’s AI readiness. Explore real-world AI use cases for production, workflows and customer-facing services to identify quick wins and longer-term automation strategies.

7: Apparel Zone
The Apparel Zone highlights hands-on training and production workflows for dye sublimation, cut-and-sew, and specialty textile printing. Wide-format providers can discover high-margin apparel production opportunities and ancillary technologies that expand revenue streams.

8: Installer Zone
See live vehicle, wall-mural and architectural-installation demos and try your hand at vinyl installation. Installer challenges and practical demonstrations showcase the craft and complexity of installation work—essential if you plan to offer applied-graphics services.

9: Spill the Ink District
Spill the Ink offers informal one-on-one coaching, student engagement areas and ongoing on-floor content. It’s ideal for quick strategy conversations, career development, and discovering niche solutions without committing to a formal session.

10: Educational Sessions
More than 50 paid educational sessions (free for Alliance members) cover business strategy, convergence opportunities, wide-format opportunities, sustainability and more. Plan your schedule in advance to get the most out of these sessions, which will enable you to take your business to new levels.
