Professionals across the UK print and signage sectors can now register for free online to gain dual access to both leading industry events this autumn.
Organisers of the co-located The Print Show and The Sign Show have announced that registration for the 2026 editions of the two leading industry events is officially open.
Taking place from 29th September to 1st October in Hall 1 of the NEC in Birmingham, the co-located events will once again welcome visitors from across the UK print and signage sectors. Visitors only need to pre-register once to gain seamless access to both shows.
This year, The Print Show will be celebrating its 10th anniversary edition, with the floorplan set to be the largest in the event’s history. Major manufacturers including Fujifilm, Agfa, Konica Minolta, Hybrid Services (Mimaki), Vivid Laminating Technologies, Plockmatic Group, Zund UK, and swissQprint are among those exhibiting.
Meanwhile, The Sign Show will return for its second edition following a successful debut in 2025. This year, the event will welcome back major manufacturers such as HP and Roland DG, as well as host first-time exhibitors including Soyang Europe and Durst. Several leading names, such as Epson and Quality Print Services, have also moved across the hall from the co-located Print Show.
Chris Davies, Event Director of The Sign Show and The Print Show, says: “With more leading brands, live technology demonstrations and new feature areas planned for 2026, this year’s events are shaping up to be unmissable for anyone working across print, sign and visual communications. We would encourage visitors to register early and secure their place at the must-attend events for the UK print and sign markets.”
New and Returning Special Features Aside from meeting with the leading names in print and signage, visitors will benefit from free access to several special in-event features:
- The Knowledge Zone: Returning to host a series of expert speakers from across the print industry. Topics up for discussion this year include the ongoing impact of AI on print, inkjet and hybrid printing, sustainability, and the increasing use of robotics in the industry.
- Print Mastermind Live!: A brand-new show feature led by Colin Sinclair McDermott, The Online Print Coach. This interactive zone is designed to give print business owners the chance to step away from the show floor and take part in short, topic-led group sessions about how to grow their business.
- Traditional Sign-Making Masterclass: The Sign Show will welcome back David Mearns of Signmode to host this incredibly popular feature. Visitors can experience and try their hand at celebrated sign-making methods, from sign-writing and screen printing on a flat table to water and transfer leaf gilding.
With just over four months to go until the doors open, attendees are encouraged to beat the crowds by registering early. As has been the case since The Print Show made its debut in 2015, entrance remains completely free to all visitors.
The Print Show and The Sign Show welcome over 5,300 attendees
