FESPA Middle East has announced that its 2027 edition will take place from 27–29 April 2027 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), marking a significant new chapter for the region’s leading exhibition dedicated to speciality print, signage, visual communication and textile decoration.
The announcement follows extensive consultation with industry stakeholders across the Middle East and North Africa, with the timing reflecting an understanding of current market conditions and the wider regional business landscape, to provide the specialist print and visual communications community with the opportunity to reunite, reconnect with suppliers, distributors and buyers, and explore the technologies, ideas and strategies shaping the future of the industry.
Topics explored at the 2026 conference included leadership, sustainability, automation, artificial intelligence, workflow optimisation and business transformation, with strong engagement from attendees seeking strategic guidance alongside technology investment opportunities. The event website provides further information on the 2026 conference programme, along with recordings and highlights from selected sessions, offering an opportunity to catch up on key insights and discussions from the event. These themes will continue to play a central role in the development of the 2027 educational programme.
“FESPA is unique because we are a not-for-profit organisation that exists to support the global speciality print community. Every event, every educational programme and every research initiative is designed to help printers, sign-makers and visual communication specialists build stronger, more sustainable and more profitable businesses,” concluded Cassim.
“In the Middle East and North Africa, there is a tremendous appetite for knowledge, innovation and collaboration. FESPA Middle East 2027 will bring together world-class experts, industry leaders and technology innovators to create an environment where businesses can learn, connect and prepare for the future. As the industry continues to evolve, our role is to ensure the community has access to the latest technology and the insight and expertise needed to thrive.”
