The new concept for the Online Print Summit 2026 is ready, and the Durst Group will be participating as a major partner for the first time at the flagship event on 12 and 13 March 2026 in the Alte Kongresshalle in Munich. Long-standing partners such as rissc solutions, ctrl-s, Printess, Crispy Mountain, Probo, HP and Cloudlab are also on board.
New event formats include C-Level Classrooms, Executive Briefings and Mind on Tap Stage. OPS’s largest partner is the Durst Group from Brixen, a manufacturer of large-format printing machines and software solutions. The organisers, the Printing and Media Association and zipcon, were also able to secure Crispy Mountain as a partner once again. The Mainz-based software company focuses on software products for printing companies, machine manufacturers and suppliers. Anyone interested in printing will find answers at hp and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG. The Executive Briefings occupy a special place. Solution-oriented hands-on sessions offer insights into solutions, strategies and trend topics. The number of participants is limited to ensure an intensive exchange of information, and the 45-minute briefings will be announced shortly in the official programme. In addition to the Executive Briefings, there are two other new formats: the C-Level Classrooms and the Mind on Tap Stage. The three C-Level Classrooms will focus on strategic topics and future technologies aimed at executives from the online printing industry. The Mind on Tap Stage forum will highlight, contextualise and discuss topics of the day.
Organisers and partners
“Our partners are more than just sponsors – they are actively shaping OPS 2026. With the new Executive Briefings, we are creating spaces for genuine exchange on an equal footing. This will once again make OPS a “laboratory for online print innovations”, close to practical application, open to discussion and with clear impetus for 2026,” explains Jens Meyer, Managing Director of VDM Beratung GmbH.
‘The Online Print Summit shows how powerful partnerships can be when the content is truly useful,’ adds Bernd Zipper, founder and CEO of co-organiser zipcon consulting. ‘The Executive Briefings, the new C-Level Classrooms, the Mind on Tap Stage and the conference itself bring together decision-makers, experts and suppliers.’
