What began in 2024 with PRINTCON as a trade fair for printing diversity enters its second year in 2026, establishing itself as a permanent industry platform for textiles, printing and finishing. On 23 and 24 April 2026, Print Equipment invites you to Vienna’s Austria Center Vienna.
By moving to the Austria Center Vienna, the organiser is responding to the growing interest. With around 2,300 square metres, including a conference area, the new venue offers more space for exhibitors, live demonstrations and specialist presentations than at the 2024 premiere. At the same time, the central location ensures better accessibility for visitors from Vienna and the surrounding area.
“The premiere of PRINTCON 2024 demonstrated that there is clearly significant interest in this type of event format within the industry. The feedback from exhibitors and visitors was very positive. We are building on this for 2026 and developing PRINTCON in a targeted manner – with more floor space, more exhibitors and an even more intensive trade fair and networking experience,” explains Natascha Panter, who is responsible for organising PRINTCON at Print Equipment.
In terms of content, PRINTCON remains true to its focus and centres on live demonstrations of modern printing and finishing technologies. The spectrum ranges from traditional textile printing and embroidery and transfer solutions to laser applications and automation concepts. The exhibition programme is complemented by specialist presentations addressing current industry topics, trends and challenges. A particular focus in 2026 will be on post-processing and automation in textile finishing.
More than 20 exhibitors from the textile, printing and finishing sectors are planned. Companies already announced include L-Shop, Mutoh, Spandex, Epson, Secabo and Print Equipment. Tickets for PRINTCON 2026 are available. The admission price is 5 euros and on-site catering is included.
