Michael Ryan, Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, said:
“Following this year’s show in Barcelona, I’m delighted to confirm that FESPA Global Print Expo and its co-located events will return to Munich in 2027. We look forward to being back in Germany to strengthen our connections with regional markets and reconnect with our German community.”
