Michael Ryan, Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, comments, “It gives me great pleasure to share that we have chosen Barcelona as the host city for our 2026 flagship events. As a peripatetic event, it’s important to us that we are able to connect with our different associations and the regional markets as a whole. We’re excited to see what the city has in store for us and are confident that our visitors will have the opportunity to unveil a wealth of business potential across print, signage, personalisation and sportswear.”

He continues, “After the cancellation of the 2020 events in Madrid, we’re delighted to be able to return to Southern Europe after 13 years, building on our relations with the Spanish and Portuguese speciality print markets even further. See you in Barcelona!”

FESPA Global Print Expo was last hosted at the Fira de Barcelona in 2012. The venue, which is a leading trade fair organisation in Spain, is easily accessible via transport links and is recognised for its previous success as a host platform for FESPA events.

Further details on FESPA 2026 will be available after this year’s FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience (6 – 9 May 2025, Messe Berlin, Germany).
