Barcelona announced as host city for FESPA 2026

The annual FESPA Global Print Expo and co-located events will take place at the Fira de Barcelona, Spain from Tuesday, May 19 to Friday, May 22 next year.

Michael Ryan, head of FESPA Global Print Expo, said: “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.

“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.

FESPA Global Print Expo co-locates with European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience, and in 2026 will welcome back Sportswear Pro. Other confirmed features include World Wrap Masters and Club FESPA.
