The 2026 show will welcome back Sportswear Pro for its second edition. Other features already confirmed include World Wrap Masters and Club FESPA (Federation of European Screen Printers Associations).

Michael Ryan, head of FESPA Global Print Expo, said, “It gives me great pleasure to share that we have chosen Barcelona as the host city for our 2026 flagship events. As a peripatetic event, it’s important to us that we are able to connect with our different associations and the regional markets as a whole. We’re excited to see what the city has in store for us and are confident that our visitors will have the opportunity to unveil a wealth of business potential across print, signage, personalisation, and sportswear.”

Readers of PrintWeek will recall that the last FESPA show in Barcelona was in 2012.

A FESPA press note said the location would "help to build on Fespa's relations with the Spanish and Portuguese speciality print markets even further". A 2020 event had been scheduled to be held in Madrid but was cancelled due to the outbreak of the Covid pandemic.
