The PRINT DIGITAL CONVENTION (PDC) will return on 16–17 June 2026 with a refreshed identity, modernised website, and an expanded vision for the future of communication technologies. For the first time, the congress and fair will be held in the foyer of Hall 1 at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre, a move designed to underscore its independence and growing influence. With approximately 1,000 square metres of exhibition space, PDC 2026 will showcase innovations across media production, brand communication, agencies, and publishing, with a strong focus on the DACH region.

PDC 2026 embodies transformation with a new logo, corporate design, and digital presence that showcase the industry's diversity and innovative capabilities. “The abbreviation PDC has long stood for more than just a trade fair. It stands for an attitude: solution-oriented, user-friendly, open to the future,” said Rüdiger Maaß, Managing Director of Fachverband Medienproduktion e.V. (FMP). Alongside its refreshed brand, the redesigned website will provide a more straightforward, mobile-optimized interface for accessing event details and content, ensuring the convention remains connected and relevant in a digital-first world.

PDC continues its mission of blending print and digital media to deliver tangible communication solutions for brands, agencies, and service providers. By integrating congress sessions, best-practice case studies, and high-value networking, the 2026 edition promises a holistic experience. Rather than separating content into strict categories, the new format will present all topics in a connected, application-driven framework that encourages dialogue and cross-sector insights. Organised by the Fachverband Medienproduktion in collaboration with Messe Düsseldorf and drupa, the event remains a key platform for innovation and collaboration across the communications landscape.
