PRINTING United Expo 2026 Sets Las Vegas Programme for September 23-25

12 September 2026: PRINTING United Alliance has outlined the programme for PRINTING United Expo 2026, scheduled for September 23-25 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Its September 10 announcement sets out equipment demonstrations, education and networking designed to help printers compare production options and assess opportunities beyond their existing markets.

In its latest programme announcement, the organiser projects nearly 850 exhibitors across one million square feet and hundreds of anticipated product launches. These are pre-show expectations, not final participation or launch totals. The planned exhibition spans commercial printing, apparel, wide-format, labels and packaging, mailing, in-plant, industrial and promotional applications.

The update follows the earlier Expo registration announcement. Visitors will be able to compare running equipment and discuss production requirements directly with suppliers.
