FESPA 2026 in Barcelona has begun! For us, it is a strategic point of the season

In the areas of sensory marketing, large-format advertising and exhibition systems, standing still means falling behind. Since yesterday, the eyes of the entire advertising industry have been focused on Barcelona, where FESPA Global Print Expo 2026 has begun. For us at adsystem, being present at these trade fairs is not only about business. Above all, it is a strategic foundation for building a leadership position and actively shaping market trends.

FESPA, held this year at the modern Fira Barcelona Gran Via complex, is Europe’s most important platform for exchanging knowledge and technology in the fields of digital printing, screen printing and exhibition systems. The scale of this event directly translates into its substantive value, and the official statistics provided by the organisers best confirm why it is a must-attend event for industry leaders:

In such a demanding and elite competitive environment, the presence of adsystem is an excellent opportunity to verify our technological capabilities against the strictest global criteria.

The key to designing effective exhibition systems is anticipating customer needs. The modern market is no longer simply looking for “advertising walls”, “roll-ups” or “trade fair stands”. Today’s businesses expect solutions that are mobile, modular, intuitive to assemble and, above all, created in the spirit of sustainable development.

Active, annual participation in trade fairs allows us to directly analyse the directions in which global trends are moving. Instead of merely reacting to change, we prepare answers to questions that customers will only start asking in the coming season. A company representative best explains how specific and uncompromising this approach must be for an organisation.

The philosophy behind the brand’s global expansion and the background to our decision to participate in the event are explained by Filip Jerzycki, Head of Business Developments and Expansion Manager at adsystem:

Recently, a colleague from another team asked me: ‘Why do you need FESPA? Don’t you already have enough work?’ And honestly? With the current pace of work, it is hard to talk about having too much free time. Even so, FESPA has remained a must-have event for us for years. Why?

It is an event that brings together companies that truly set the standards in our industry. And if you want to compete and stand out, you should do it among the best. This has been our approach to business from the very beginning, and that is exactly why being present at FESPA matters so much to us. It is the perfect space to showcase our capabilities, observe the direction of market development and see who will be setting the pace of change in the coming months.

In addition, every time we return with something far more valuable than just a list of new contacts. FESPA is a place that allows us to look at the industry from a broader perspective, verify our development direction, confront our own solutions with the best players on the market and make sure that, as a company, we are not only keeping up with change, but actively taking part in creating it.

FESPA also remains a unique place in terms of the diversity of its visitors. Experienced manufacturers, agencies and print houses meet there, as do people who are only just beginning their journey in the industry. This mix of experience, perspectives and expectations makes the event feel alive, and our stand simply cannot be boring.

During the current edition, we are showing the results of the work we have done over the past few months. We are presenting new products, new solutions and, just as importantly, a completely new version of our stand, different from what you may have associated us with so far.

Is it worth being there? Give us a few minutes, and we will show you that it definitely is.

FESPA 2026 takes place from 19 to 22 May. We invite all business partners, advertising agencies, print houses and modern design enthusiasts to visit the adsystem space. See for yourself how we are redefining the standards of spatial marketing.
