FESPA has announced that its flagship annual FESPA Global Print Expo and co-located events (European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience), will take place at the Fira de Barcelona, Spain, from May 19 – 22, 2026. The 2026 show will also welcome back Sportswear Pro for its second edition. In addition, confirmed features include World Wrap Masters and Club FESPA. Michael Ryan, Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, asserts, “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.”
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.
