The Print4All Conference returns on 1 and 2 July 2026 at the Ville Ponti Congress Center in
Varese, Italy, under the theme Humans Print the World. Organised by ACIMGA and ARGI in
collaboration with Fiera Milano, the event serves as a key milestone on the road to the
Print4All 2027 trade fair, offering the printing, converting and packaging supply chain a
structured forum to examine the technological and industrial transformations currently
reshaping the sector.
At a time when automation, artificial intelligence and robotics are redefining the relationship
between human expertise and machine capability, the conference places the balance
between innovation and human value at its core. The Humans Print the World theme unfolds
along two complementary axes: Human+Machine, which explores the deepening integration
of people, machines, data and automation in production; and Human+Life, which examines
the broader impact of the industry on everyday life, where materials, surfaces and packaging
become the interface between industrial innovation, sustainability and communication.
“There are two distinctive elements of the Print4All Conference in which, as an association,
we fully recognize ourselves,” comments Marco Marangoni, President of ARGI. “On the one
hand, its nature as a system event, always aimed at representing the entire printing and
converting ecosystem, without favoring individual technologies. On the other, its strong
vocation for collaboration throughout the entire supply chain, thanks to the active
involvement of the various sector associations: an approach that generates positive energy
and shared value for the whole industry”.
These values are also shared by Marco Calcagni, President of ACIMGA: “Print4All
Conference is an event where the entire market, from technology manufacturers to printers
and converters, all the way to brand owners, comes together to share priorities and
perspectives, but it is also a tool that strengthens the role of Print4All as a reference trade
fair. The renewed support of the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) will also make it possible, for this
edition, to broaden the outlook on foreign markets, strengthening the international
positioning of Made in Italy printing and converting technologies”.
The conference will also offer an in-depth look at the market segments central to Print4All
2027. These include corrugated packaging, driven by advances in graphics, customisation
and demand for sustainable materials; converting, increasingly integrated with printing and
finishing within automated production lines; and package printing, with its expanding role in
traceability, security and sustainability. Wide format printing, bridging design, architecture
and retail, will also feature, as will the growing importance of new materials such as
recyclable mono-materials, barrier papers and functional substrates, all of which demand a
fundamental rethinking of technologies in the context of the circular economy.
Print4All Conference 2026 is both the industry’s primary strategic gathering of the year and a
launchpad for the 2027 trade fair at Fiera Milan
