The printing industry needs a more serious and informed discussion about software, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Too much of today’s coverage remains superficial and disconnected from operational reality. Software is increasingly responsible for managing workflows, data, and automation, while robots are rapidly becoming a standard component in modern printing environments.

INKISH Deutschland addresses this shift head-on. In 2026, we will launch a brand-new exhibition format designed to educate, inspire, and challenge the industry over three focused days. The event is structured around how professionals actually work today, with opening hours from 10:00–18:00 on Monday and Tuesday, and 10:00–17:00 on Wednesday.

This is not a conventional trade show. It is closer to Innovation Days, where depth, dialogue, and real solutions take precedence. Exhibitors are encouraged to present complete, end-to-end workflows — showing how software, automation, and robotics work together in real production environments.

Throughout the event, food and drinks are included for all participants. On Tuesday evening, exhibitors are invited to a dedicated networking dinner that combines informal business discussions with selected presentations and industry highlights.

INKISH also introduces a new and transparent business model. Attendees pay €20 for access, of which €15 is shared directly with INKISH media partners across Europe — strengthening independent industry media. Exhibitors pay €700 per day for a fixed booth. Additional space can be booked by reserving multiple booths, and exhibitors are encouraged to invite relevant guests at a low per-person cost. The result is high-quality interaction, focused audiences, and one of the most accessible exhibition models in the industry.
