PRINTING United Expo: How to Find Opportunity Amid Uncertainty

In five weeks we are going to be in Las Vegas for PRINTING United Expo, a powerful community of printing industry professionals from the commercial, mailing, apparel, packaging, wide-format, promotional, and in-plant spaces.

When:
September 23-25, 2026
Where:
Las Vegas, Nevada
The Las Vegas Convention Center
North and Central Halls

To find out exactly where to spend your time while you’re at the show, a good place to start is Wide-format Impressions‘ recent article “PRINTING United Expo 2026: 10 Things You Must Do.” Dan Marx breaks down some of the highlights of the event and offers some advice for attendees.

One of the things Dan points out is the roster of more than 50 paid educational sessions, which are free for PRINTING United Alliance members. Some of the most popular sessions every year are the ones led by Alliance Insights. Denise Gustavson offers a look at some of these sessions, highlighting in particular the opening session hosted by Andy Paparozzi, Chief economist, and Onamica Dhar, economist, both of Printing United Alliance, taking place on Wednesday at 10 am in Room N115.

If you’re an in-plant wondering how to justify the trip, just read Clara Garcia’s story from Del Mar College.

Those in the packaging space need to look no further than Packaging Impressions Content Director Cory Francer’s video with Josh Carruth, EVP expositions, at PRINTING United Alliance.

For those in the promotional products space wondering if the Expo is really worth a trip to Las Vegas, Allee Bruce, editor of Promo Impressions, also took some time to chat with Carruth about what sets the Expo apart as THE event to attend.

We can’t forget about the vibrant apparel decoration community, which has a huge presence at the Expo. Carruth tells Content Director Cassie Green how the Expo brings the apparel decorating community to life. If you need more convincing, just check out the article “Wear the Future” which details all of the perks of the Apparel Zone.

No matter the segment you serve, you belong at PRINTING United Expo.

We’ll see you in Vegas!
