FESPA Introduces Textile 2026 for the Global Textile Printing Sector
FESPA is expanding its six-decade legacy in textile printing innovation with Textile 2026 — a dedicated event for printed textiles, garments, and décor. The first edition will take place from May 19–22, 2026, at Fira Barcelona, alongside FESPA Global Print Expo, Personalisation Experience, European Sign Expo, and the new Corrugated event.
An Exclusive Platform for Textile Professionals
Textile 2026 will feature both an exhibition and conference, tailored for visitors working in textile printing, apparel, and interior décor. The event aims to help professionals explore industry trends, discover innovations, and share expertise with global peers.
The exhibition floor will display a wide range of textile-related technologies and materials. Highlights include roll-to-roll machines, direct-to-garment (DTG) and direct-to-fabric (DTF) printers, design software, embroidery systems, finishing tools, inks, coatings, and more.
Conference Sessions Focused on Efficiency and Sustainability
The free-to-attend conference will feature expert speakers addressing productivity, operational efficiency, waste reduction, and sustainable manufacturing. Attendees can also network with brands and designers focused on building eco-conscious, agile supply chains.
A single pass will grant entry to Textile 2026 and all four co-located FESPA events, creating a unified experience for visitors.
